Editing Chiltern Main Line (section)

==Passenger services==
While Chiltern Railways is the main operator of the route, parts of the line carry services by other operators:
* [[West Midlands Trains]] operates local services in the West Midlands area between Birmingham, {{rws|Dorridge}} and Leamington Spa, as part of the [[Snow Hill Lines]]
* [[CrossCountry]] operates some services from either Birmingham (joining the line at Bordesley junction) or Leamington (joining from the [[Coventry-Leamington line]]) and running as far as [[Aynho Junction]] where they diverge towards {{rws|Oxford}}
* [[Great Western Railway (train operating company)|Great Western Railway]] also operates a few services to Banbury via Oxford.

===Weekday off-peak service pattern===
