Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Banbury railway station serves the town of Banbury in Oxfordshire, England. The station is currently operated by Chiltern Railways, lying on the Chiltern Main Line, and has four platforms in use. Banbury Bridge Street station opened on the 2nd September 1850. some four months after the Buckinghamshire Railway (L&NWR) opened its Banbury Merton Street terminus. The station was going to be part of the GWRs Oxford & Rugby railway, before the problems with changing gauges at Rugby put pay to that. The 24 mile single track extension from Oxford to Banbury did open, and at first Banbury was just a single platform through station (works were continuing to Birmingham) however the popularity of the line meant that the route was soon double tracked barely two years later, and the station was given an extra platform in an up and down configuration. In 1884 an extra up line was added, and by 1903 Banbury had the extra up line converted into up and down bays, along with an extra bay on the downside, and freight loops to cope with the traffic from the GCML joining at Banbury junction to the north.
