Oxford to Bletchley might reopen if petrol became really pricey. However it would tend to rely on commuters, one imagines and the railway has a particular problem even more so than the bus - it usually doesn't take you anywhere near your place of work.
See the latest issue of rail magazine, carries an article on Oxford Bletchley.

Cross Country services to Leicester direct from Southampton would be great I have to go via London at the moment
