This is a Chiltern Railways journey from London Marylebone to Bicester Village. The Chiltern Railways train I took was heading northbound towards Oxford. Not only is this the first Chiltern Railways journey on this channel, but also the first journey that goes outside London.

    Chiltern Railways operates rail services from London Marylebone to destinations in Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, and the West Midlands. One way to travel from London to Birmingham is to start at London Euston and arrive at Birmingham New Street. Both Avanti West Coast and London Northwestern Railway operate on this route. When taking Chiltern Railways, you start at London Marylebone and can arrive at either Birmingham Moor Street or Birmingham Snow Hill. Despite the slower journey time, Chiltern Railways is the best option to travel with if you’re looking for a cheaper fare and to avoid the large crowds at Euston.

    As the train approaches Bicester Village station, there were announcements played in Arabic and Mandarin. This is probably because lots of tourists from the Middle East and China go to Bicester Village and shop there. In fact, Bicester Village is the second most visited place in the UK by Chinese tourists, after Buckingham Palace.

    The train didn’t call at the following stations
    8:16 – 8:21 Wembley Stadium (WCX)
    9:59 – 10:02 Sudbury Hill Harrow (SDH)
    10:48 – 10:52 Northolt Park (NLT)
    12:14 – 12:18 South Ruislip (SRU)
    13:33 – 13:38 West Ruislip (WRU) (Final station before leaving the Greater London area)
    16:30 – 16:35 Denham Golf Club (DGC)
    22:30 – 22:35 Seer Green & Jordans (SRG)
    50:51 – 50:57 Haddenham & Thame Parkway (HDM)

    Between 12:33 and 12:37, the train passes by Ruislip Gardens tube station. Sudbury & Harrow Road (SUD) and Denham (DNM) are on the route and the train didn’t call at them, but aren’t shown in the video as I was seated on the left side and the stations are seen on the right side.
