Chiltern Railways

The Chiltern Railways May 2025 timetable has few changes, when compared to the previous timetable. A small number of services have had their times changed by a few minutes with the aim of improving overall punctuality.

The biggest set of changes are on Saturdays with the introduction of three new trains in the timetable aimed at relieving the pressure on the heavily used Birmingham line trains.

From Sunday 18 May 2025, the following alterations to Chiltern Railways services will apply:

Weekdays:

From Tuesday - Thursday only:

The 06:38 Oxford to London Marylebone service will now be making an open call at High Wycombe at 07:26 – previously this train was set down only. This train will now appear in online journey planners, and will show on station departure screens at High Wycombe.

Saturdays:

There will be an introduction of three new trains in the timetable aimed at relieving the pressure on the heavily used Birmingham line trains.

The three additional trains are the 09:46 Banbury to London Marylebone service, the 10:13 Banbury to London Marylebone service, and the 17:37 London Marylebone to Banbury service.

The 09:46 Banbury to London Marylebone service will call at Bicester North, Haddenham & Thame Parkway and High Wycombe on its way to London, and is aimed at relieving the 08:19 Stourbridge Junction to London Marylebone service, which will no longer call at either Bicester North or Haddenham & Thame Parkway.

The 10:13 Banbury to London Marylebone service will call at Kings Sutton, Bicester North, Haddenham & Thame Parkway, High Wycombe, Gerrards Cross, Denham and Wembley Stadium on its way to London, and is aimed at relieving the 09:13 Birmingham Moor Street to London Marylebone service, which will no longer call at Kings Sutton, Bicester North or Haddenham & Thame Parkway, and will run non-stop from Banbury to London.

As a result of the 10:13 Banbury to London Marylebone service running, the 10:15 Oxford to London Marylebone service will no longer call at Gerrards Cross, Denham or Wembley Stadium. This means that after leaving High Wycombe, it will call at Beaconsfield and Seer Green & Jordans only, before running non-stop to London. The local Aylesbury to London Marylebone train will preserve the connectivity between Beaconsfield and intermediate stations to London. The changes mean that customers at Seer Green & Jordans will see the 11:10 departure to London running non-stop.

The 17:37 London Marylebone to Banbury service will run non-stop from London to Beaconsfield, which means that the Beaconsfield call comes out of the slightly off pattern 17:46 London Marylebone to Oxford service.

The 22:21 Birmingham Moor Street to Banbury service will be lengthened from a two carriage train to a five carriage train.

Copies of the Chiltern Railways timetables from 18 May 2025 to 13 December 2025 are available to download from the Chiltern Railways website.

As part of the improvements, an additional 28,000 seats per week will be delivered as a further nine extra trains are added to CrossCountry’s long-distance Voyager fleet. The additional trains will provide welcome capacity on CrossCountry’s long-distance routes, in particular on the busy corridor between Reading and Newcastle via Birmingham, Doncaster and York.

During 2025 customers travelling between Cardiff and Nottingham via Birmingham, and between Birmingham and Stansted Airport via Leicester and Peterborough, will see more refurbished Class 170 “Turbostar” trains with new seats, improved charging facilities, and a bright and bold external livery.

ScotRail is set to introduce significant timetable improvements from Sunday 18 May 2025, with a major focus on enhancing rail connections for Fife.

The new timetable will include more frequent services to and from Leven, improving access to and from Edinburgh, and better connecting communities throughout Fife. Additional carriages are also being added to some trains at the busiest times to provide more seats for customers.

Changes to the departure time of some early morning services in the Highlands will provide a more balanced range of travel options for customers travelling from the Kyle of Lochalsh and Tain areas. A late-night service to Tain will also be reintroduced as a trial, as well as a new direct early morning service from Inverness to Edinburgh.

Key highlights of the May 2025 timetable include:

• More frequent Leven services: Customers in Leven will benefit from an enhanced service frequency, with two trains per hour throughout the day. The second train per hour operates via Dunfermline and Cowdenbeath, providing better connections for communities across Fife

• Better connections to Dundee: The new timetable creates more journey opportunities for customers who wish to travel from Leven to Dundee. A change in train times means tight connections at Kirkcaldy are minimised, resulting in an improved journey experience

• Late-night service to Tain: The late-night service from Inverness to Tain, which operated prior to the pandemic is being reintroduced as a trial, offering greater flexibility for evening travellers. The change is possible through reducing the number of underused morning peak services from Elgin to Inverness
