Bicester North {{IPAc-en|audio=En-uk-Bicester.ogg|ˈ|b|ɪ|s|t|ər}} is a station on the Chiltern Main Line, one of two stations serving Bicester in Oxfordshire. Services operated by Chiltern Railways run south to {{rws|London Marylebone}} and north to {{rws|Banbury}}, {{rws|Birmingham Snow Hill}} and {{rws|Stratford-upon-Avon}}.

Bicester North is one of Bicester's two stations. The other is {{rws|Bicester Village}} on the Oxford to London Marylebone Line.

History

The 'Bicester cut-off' between Ashendon Junction and Aynho Junction was opened in 1910 - the final main-line stretch of route to be completed in Britain until the 1980s. This provided a shortening of the London-to-Birmingham GWR main rail line, and also gave Bicester a station with direct London trains for the first time.

The station was transferred from the Western Region of British Rail to the London Midland Region on 24 March 1974.^[1]

In recent years passenger traffic at Bicester North has grown rapidly. In the seven years 2003–10 the number of passengers using the station increased by 89%.^[2]

Services

The Monday - Friday off-peak service consists of:

2 trains per hour to {{stnlnk|London Marylebone}}, one of which is non-stop.
1 train per hour to {{stnlnk|Banbury}}
1 train per hour to {{stnlnk|Birmingham Snow Hill}}

Additional services run at peak hours, and other timetabled services run at weekends.

Improvement works

In 2010 the down line through the station was realigned for higher speeds, as part of the Evergreen 3 project. In 2011, the up (southbound) platform was widened, using the trackbed of the former through lines.^[3]
