The Witney Oxford Transport Group recently sent its proposals to the Government for a Carterton-Witney-Eynsham-Oxford link. A survey of 771 respondents, conducted between February 22 and March 4, found 97 per cent supported exploring the potential of restoring a railway line, connecting the communities of Carterton, Witney and Eynsham with Oxford.
