UIT Cambridge. ISBN 978-1-906-860-84-4. Oxford is the junction for a short branch line to Bicester, a remnant of the former Varsity line to Cambridge. This Oxford–Bicester line was upgraded to 100mph (161km/h) running during an 18-month closure in 2014/2015 – and is scheduled to be extended to form the planned East West Rail line to Milton Keynes. [71] East West Rail is proposed to continue through Bletchley (for Milton Keynes Central) to Bedford, [72] Cambridge, [73] and ultimately Ipswich and Norwich, [74] thus providing alternative route to East Anglia without needing to travel via, and connect between, the London mainline terminals.

[79] The distance from Oxford to London was 78 miles (125.5km) via Bletchley; 63.5 miles (102.2km) via Didcot and Reading; 63.25 miles (101.8km) via Thame and Maidenhead; [80] and 55.75 miles (89.7km) via Denham.

[65] In 1927 the university's dons created a quota that limited the number of female students to a quarter that of men, a ruling which was not abolished until 1957. [54] However, during this period Oxford colleges were single sex, so the number of women was also limited by the capacity of the women's colleges to admit students. It was not until 1959 that the women's colleges were given full collegiate status. [66] Adjoining the Museum of Natural History is the Pitt Rivers Museum, founded in 18
