Improvement Work

At Tackley

Planned engineering work will take place at Tackley from 00:00, Friday 12 June 2026 to 23:59, Saturday 15 May 2027.
Some Oxford lines are affected.
All services between Banbury and Oxford will be running non stop between Heyford and Oxford. Tackley will not be served.

Platform 2 and the footbridge close from Friday 12 June 2026 until Spring 2027 whilst the temporary footbridge is removed and a new footbridge with lifts is built; this means trains towards Oxford cannot stop at Tackley.

Trains to Banbury can continue to call at Tackley.

Customer Advice:

How am I affected?

Trains towards Oxford will not stop at Tackley. However, train services to Banbury will continue to stop.

What alternative transport will be provided from Tackley?

If you are travelling from...
Tackley to Oxford - please use the S4 Oxford to Banbury bus service and pay-as-you-go
Banbury, Kings Sutton and Heyford to Tackley - you will find it easier and quicker to travel by train to Oxford and get the next train back to Tackley - your rail ticket will be valid
Oxford to Tackley or Tackley to Banbury - we are able to continue to stop trains at Tackley for these journeys.
