Oxford-Milton Keynes shame, but RMT has a good point!
It would be laughable if not so sad for all who have tirelessly worked to get the passenger service off the ground.
One freighter a day, is that each way or one-way ad hoc?
We need a better marketing strategy to optimise the potential including the Aylesbury link for South Bucks to MK and ultimately Universal and Bedford and beyond, not just east-west, but north-south to/from east-west as well.
Please email your MP and demand the parties involved are made to go to ACAS or whatever and come to a compromise sooner than later. https://www.parliament.
As for rolling stock, this is a nationwide problem as we need a new generation of sprinters and a rolling programme of electrification with more battery trains too, especially if reopenings are to add to the mix of cleaner modal transport choices.

I attach a new diagram BRTA has put together to show what an emergent rail network should look like, inclusive of Northampton. Choices pro and default have to be made and all have positive or negative consequences. If we support studies and make the case to re-rail, then more will visit the area including Universal at 8-million visitors per year and 26, 000 jobs sustainably. If we do not grasp this, we render all to go by road and massive land-take for car parks and highway development with urban gridlock and overwhelm beit congestion, delays, costs, pollution and ill-health/blight. This can be avoided with optimal regeneration. Please work with us and give us your support for a pro-rail future, not more of the same exacerbated.
Yours sincerely,
Richard Pill
