Seems to be building on Chiltern's already existing proposals to run passenger services on the Cowley branch. Not quite sure about the "refurbished trains from the London Underground" plan though.
PLANS for a new 'Oxford Metro' will be presented to the Government as part of a future plan for a city-wide system of new train routes.
Upgrades to signalling south of the city's main station could allow the Cowley Branch Line to be used again for passenger services, possibly using refurbished trains from the London Underground.
Leading academic Dr Nicholas Falk said it is time to 'stop talking' about a new metro system and to 'get things under way'.
It would at first serve stops at Oxford Station, Oxford Science Park, Blackbird Leys and Oxford Business Park, but could be the first step towards a bigger system.
