<p>Great Western Railway has proposed to the Department for Transport a limited trial
of extra direct services between Bristol and Oxford. The proposed trial is planned
to take place between mid-September and mid-December 2024 and will be restricted to
Saturdays. This coincides with the Bath Christmas market, which experiences increased
demand for trips on Saturdays to and from Oxford and Bath, particularly during the
busy Christmas season. The trial is only currently planned for weekends because during
the week, the additional trains needed to run the services are already used on other
commuter routes.</p>
