Not entirely a nailed on certainty that the change at Oxenholme is the only option. It is quite possible that a London bound traveller around that time would have been able to use a through train, or at least a through coach attached to another train, to London without the need to change at Oxenholme.
As Windermere had through services beyond Oxenhome to Lancashire it is possibile that the traveller would change at Preston or even Lancaster which would have a greater frequency of London bound trains than were available at Oxenholme.
