First 'official' train arrives in Marylebone (a few minutes late)
The first official train between Oxford city centre and London Marylebone has arrived in the capital.
BBC Radio Oxford's Phil Mercer was one board and said it was a "few minutes late", although he thought the media on board may have been at least partly to blame for that.
Scientists based in Oxford are trying to work why some people are apple or pear shaped.
It's because people with apple shaped bodies are more likely to develop heart problems than 'pear' shaped people where there's more fat around the hips, buttocks and thighs.
Dr Contsantinos Christodoulides thinks genes may decide whether fat is sent to the upper or lower body.
He's been awarded a fellowship from the British Heart Foundation to test his theory

The government has pledged to spend millions of pounds on short-term improvements for the A34 in Berkshire and Oxfordshire, Newbury's MP has told BBC Radio Berkshire.
It comes after a series of accidents in foggy conditions this morning.
There were four accidents in total today - two on both sides of the carriageway near East and West Ilsley.
Conservative MP Richard Benyon says he's met with the roads minister and secured money for some short-term improvements. He says the longer-term improvements to the infrastructure of the road are still being discussed.
An action group calling for improvements on this section of the road was launched after a mother and three children were killed there in August.
