CHILTERN MAIN LINE - I'D LOVE TO DRIVE MY HOME ROUTE THROUGH BICESTER NORTH AND BANBURY PLEASE CAN SOMEONE MAKE THIS ROUTE!!!!!! ALL INFO ABOUT ROUTE BELOW!!!
The Chiltern Main Line is an inter-urban, regional and commuter railway, part of the British railway system. It links London (Marylebone) and Birmingham (Moor Street & Snow Hill), the United Kingdom's two largest cities, by a 112-mile (180 km) route via High Wycombe, Banbury, and Leamington Spa.

It is one of two main line railway routes between London and Birmingham, the other being the West Coast Main Line between London Euston and Birmingham New Street, which is the principal InterCity route between the two cities.

The name Chiltern Line was invented as a marketing name for the line by Network SouthEast in 1985,[1] in reference to the Chiltern Hills which the route passes through near its southern end. The route was originally part of the Great Western Railway's main line from London Paddington to Birmingham Snow Hill. Wolverhampton Low Level and Birkenhead Woodside. Most main line services between London and Birmingham on this route were discontinued in 1967 after the West Coast Main Line was electrified, and Snow Hill station was closed.[2] Services were resumed between London and the reopened Snow Hill in 1993, however they were routed into Marylebone, formerly the London terminus of the now-closed Great Central Main Line, instead of the historic terminus at Paddington.[3]

Since the privatisation of British Rail in the 1990s, the main operator has been Chiltern Railways who have continued to develop the route and services. The line has undergone a major upgrade which has seen much of the line cleared for 100 mph (160km/h) running, resulting significant reductions in journey times from 2013. The line is not electrified, although electrification is an aspiration.[4]

The line forms part of the suburban rail networks in both cities. The majority of towns towards the London end of the route are prosperous suburbs or commuter-belt towns, such as Ruislip, Gerrards Cross and Beaconsfield. These have a journey time of 30 minutes or less to London Marylebone. In the West Midlands it is one of the Snow Hill Lines. Commuter trains operated by London Midland run between Birmingham Snow Hill, Solihull and Leamington Spa.

As Brown Eyes has stated, you're in luck the route indeed will be released in the near future by Just Trains. See the decription they give on their website below (plus the direct link to their website where the route is mentioned):

"The line from London to Birmingham is known as the Chiltern Mainline and runs from its London terminus at Marylebone north-west to Birmingham Snow Hill. The line is approximately 112 miles in length."

So it's just a matter of being a little bit more patient. All the best.

So would I as a former Chiltern Turbo driver! I would be able to see what the route looks like now . Back in my day Aynho Junction had it's own Signal Box - Banbury South SB took control of AJ in 1992 and Class 127s (four car class 117 DMUs) had been the norm along with the odd Class 121 / 122 Bubble Cars courtesy of Network SouthEast. There was also one of four London Underground -> British Rail access points located at Neasden. Quite an interesting and varied route to drive between Marly and Banbury as last seen by me in 1997 when I changed careers within the transport industry.
