Access to Banbury station - Tramway Road improvement works.
Works by Oxfordshire County Council will start on Monday 21 October 2024 to provide a new route to the station by connecting Tramway Road to Station Approach Road and a new route to the West side car park.
These improvements include a new footway, cycleway and bus stops along Tramway Road, and enhanced car parking and drop-off options.
What this means for our customers:
- As site compounds move into the Banbury West side car park, we recommend customers use the East side multi-storey car park from Monday 21 October 2024. For sat nav, please use postcode: OX16 4RN.
- From Thursday 24 October, no access will be available using the Tramway road footpath. There will be a signed diversionary route that takes approximately 20 minutes by foot. As this journey takes longer, we recommend that customers allow extra time to travel.
- The West side car park will close on Monday 28 October. Access will be available for authorised vehicles only.
Work is expected to be complete in September 2025, when the West side car park will reopen and be entered from the new access road.
