It is the commuter train, isn't it? I am from Sweden, and have studied in Oxford for three months in last my year of college, but i lived in a London hotel, so I used to commute with these trains. They're incredible. In Sweden, the commuter trains only go about 40-50 km, but in London, we're talking about 100-200 km.
In that case the Reading route must be regional as well, since the route to Oxford is an extension of the Reading route (the difference is Reading trains don't stop at Iver and Langley, while Oxford trains don't stop at Burnham and Taplow), so Oxford route is not more regional than Reading route (Reading trains stop at Southall, but one stop doesn't really make any difference).
Whats the difference between 165 and 166?

@TheDaggelito I believe some of the 165's can only do 120kph but all of the 166's can do 145kph

Yes they are commuter trains but they also serve medium distance routes like Paddington-Oxford.
