Sir - We support the proposal for a new rail station at the Shipton-on-Cherwell eco-town, as described in your article by Reg Little (November 2). The use of rail access is important, since the neighbouring roads are heavily congested, and this would fit in with the ethos of an environmentally-friendly development.
Although the adjacent Cherwell Valley railway line is a busy one, increased train capacity should be provided by re-signalling in the Oxford/Banbury area. A new station at Kirtlington with adequate parking would be more useful than the proposed Kidlington station.
