<p>A study of the rail corridors in Oxfordshire has been undertaken by Network Rail
in partnership with the Department for Transport and local stakeholders led by the
Oxfordshire Growth Board. The scope of the study has included an assessment of the
demand for train services to and from Oxfordshire stations, including Culham, taking
account of planned housing growth contained within existing Local Plans.</p><p> </p><p>The
Oxfordshire Rail Corridor Study will be published this Spring, and the outcomes will
be progressed in accordance with the Rail Network Enhancement Pipeline. The work undertaken
to date has not included an assessment of the impact on carbon emissions of any proposals,
which is because the limit of the study work was to produce a train service specification
to meet forecast demand, understand the existing capacity shortfall and the infrastructure
interventions that might be required in order to meet that specification.</p><p> </p>
