The Grand Union Main Line links the River Thames in the south to the Tame Valley and Birmingham & Fazeley Canal at the northern end. As well as many arms and branches it links to the North Oxford Canal at Braunston and the South Oxford Canal at Napton. It also has a junction with the Digbeth Branch of the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal.
