Welcome to your 'Bicester Link'
The Bicester Link is a rural railway through the fenlands of the Otmoor Valley between Bicester and Oxford.
The railway links Oxford, the historic city of learning and culture and the
bustling market town of Bicester, famed for its military history and outlet
shopping village - just a five minute walk from the railway station!
The Bicester Link is the perfect alternative to enduring the traffic delays on the A34.
The train takes just 26 minutes making it much quicker than driving along the A34 during the rush hour, and it's reliable too!
With great value fares and trains until late at night the Bicester Link is ideal for commuters, students and shoppers.
On this website you can find information on timetables and fares, information on each station, a history of the line and exciting plans for the future.
We hope you have a pleasant visit, and look forward to seeing you on board the train soon!
Jump aboard the Bicester Link soon!
