Oxford by train
Oxford has a large railway station in the western part of the city (immediately west of the city centre and south of Jericho). Fast First Great Western trains run to and from London Paddington every half an hour, taking about an hour to complete the journey. Commonly, these trains call at Reading, Slough (for Windsor Castle), and Didcot Parkway though not all trains call at each of these stations. Tickets to London cost £20 off peak without a railcard and £40 at peak times without a railcard, although you can buy tickets for about £4 if you book in advance and online. There are also stopping services to London calling at a large number of stations, which run every hour and take about 90 min to complete the journey. First Great Western also runs approximately hourly trains on the Cotswold line to Worcester and also to Bicester.
Cross Country Trains also run through Oxford, mostly running to/from Manchester and Southampton. These trains run approximately half-hourly in both directions but stop at about 9PM. All of these trains stop at Reading going south, and Leamington Spa for Warwick and Warwick Castle, and Birmingham going north.
