Sir – As reported recently, Chiltern Railways have been given the go-ahead for their Oxford London service. Meanwhile some protestors (Report, November 1), who have contributed to the two-year delay in delivering this improvement to Oxford’s connections to London, are still trying to tell the railway how it should be run.
Should they not instead be making some apologies? First to Chiltern, who after all are paying for this, for the loss of revenue their part of the delay has caused; secondly to the rail users of Oxford, who may include their neighbours, for depriving the people of using this new service which will be so convenient for North Oxford.
John Wiltshire, Oxford
