Bicester is a town and civil parish in the Cherwell district of northeastern Oxfordshire in England. This historic market centre is one of the fastest growing towns in Oxfordshire. Development has been favoured by its proximity to junction 9 of the M40 motorway linking Bicester to London, Birmingham and Banbury.
Bicester has good road links to Oxford, Kidlington, Brackley, Buckingham, Aylesbury and Witney, as well as a railway stations on two axes; Bicester North and Bicester Village. Bicester has its own town council, approximately a one quarter of the population hence ward contribution to the District Council and further representation as to different local governmental matters on the County Council.
The other large town in the district is Banbury. In 2014 the Government in concert with the local planning authority planned for Bicester to become a garden city on the basis of the size of its buffers, distance from the Metropolitan Green Belt and in part to accommodate the demand of commuters to London and Oxford. Up to 13,000 new homes will be built.
The town's nearest motorway is the M40 which has two junctions serving Bicester; junction 9 to the south which is an interchange for the A34 towards Oxford and A41 for Bicester and Aylesbury and junction 10 near Ardley to the north with the A43 towards Brackley. Bicester has a ring road which is made up of the A41, A4095, A4421 and the newly completed Vendee Drive which forms part of the B4030.
Bicester benefited from the Railway Mania of the 1840s. The Buckinghamshire Railway completed the railway between Bletchley and Oxford in 1851, opening a neat station at the bottom of the London road in 1850 to serve Bicester. Bicester also has local bus services to Oxford and Banbury, and is served by long-distance route X5 between Oxford and Cambridge. Northampton once ran service 8 as far as Bicester
Bicester is within an hour's drive to three international airports and within 10 miles of the minor London Oxford Airport.

Miniature Railways of Great Britain.....Downs Light Railway November 2018
Why couldn't we have had schools like this when we where at school, children are encouraged to learn engineering and drive/maintain a live steam railway with the help of the guys that volunteer.
The gauge of the track is 9 1/2 inches a very rare gauge.
The railway is private and is not open to the public,
This weekend the Lakeshore Railroad from South Shields had sent two loco's down Adiela and the Muizenburg Flyer i'm not sure but i'm sure I heard this loco had come from Africa.
Many thanks to the Downs School and all the students at the railway for your warm welcome,we had a great day with you all.
