    Why it would be interesting:
    - Varied timetable (stopping services, semi fast services and express services)
    - Varied scenery (central London to the chiltern countryside)
    - Varied speeds, junctions and station approaches to manage
    - Only London terminus station that isn't electrified
    - Busy route with lots of traffic both sides
    - Plenty of layer opportunities at Oxford and Banbury
