A multi-partner study is underway to evaluate how the rail network in Oxfordshire can support economic growth. The Oxfordshire Rail Corridor Study (ORCS), which began in February, is backed up with £600,000 of funding from local and national government (the Department for Transport) plus East West Rail. All the train operators currently serving Oxford (Chiltern Railways, CrossCountry and Great Western Railway) are participating in the study.
