Grouped stations

For passenger convenience where station interchangeability is desirable, many stations are 'grouped', with (for most journeys) tickets valid to or from any in the group. Thus, for example, a traveller making a journey from Bedford group to Bicester group could travel outward Bedford Midland-Bicester North and return Bicester Town-Bedford St Johns.

All known groups are shown here with the stations within each group shown. Some date information is shown; this is known to be incomplete and is thought better to share than not.
