I've made a start on 'Lord Saye and Sele's Blew Regiment of Foote'.
It was a Parliamentarian Regiment raised by William Fiennes, 1st Viscount Saye & Sele. They were involved in the Battle of Edgehill and the Sieges of Banbury, Bridgewater, Bristol & Oxford.

I once helped a friend with small kids onto the train at Oxford, got trapped by the closing doors and swept off to Banbury.
Had to explain my lack of ticket over and over on the way back, the last time at the Oxford barrier, where I got the reply "Off you go, mate; it's bad enough, is Banbury".

@gwr.com With the closure of the line between Oxford and Didcot Parkway this week, was it bot expected that more people would be using the Canal Line trains between Banbury and Oxford, and therefore it would've been prudent to increase the number of carriages on this already busy line from 2 to 3?
