Trains are all operated by Great Western Railway, except for one late night weekday service at 0053 to Banbury, operated by Chiltern. Some peak trains run through to/from London Paddington at peak times, but otherwise services operate between Oxford and Banbury only and call roughly every two hours.[1]

Sundays services operate in the summer months only, usually from the May timetable change until mid-September (3 trains per day each way).
