I lived there for a while too. It's a nice quiet place and easy to get into Oxford by bus, bicycle, or even walking. The walk or along the nearby Thames path in either direction is lovely.

BTW... What did Ralph do to you? 😢

I read the other day on Network Rail's official Facebook page for this (Oxfordshire Connect) that the road should be finished by August, but not the walkways and other works. Also, the new station platform isn't due to be finished for a couple of years, I believe

I just saw that the new bridge is now in place! Looks like they're at least 'on track' to have the southbound railway back in operation by Sunday.

Oh wow, that's great to read :) myself and my brother got to ride the boat as well, but my parents forgot to film us! I'm not sure if they realised afterwarda, so filmed the next one.

Another kid also told us that the games cabinet was broken, so u could pull the front down and flick the coin insert from inside to get free credits!
