Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the average journey time between Oxford and London Paddington station is (a) at present and (b) planned to be after the electrification of that route.

The typical journey time for fast services between Oxford and London Paddington is 57 minutes, with some services with additional stops taking a little longer.

Precise journey times from London Paddington to Oxford will be confirmed as part of the industry’s timetable bidding process, later this year.
