Network Rail has announced a revised programme to reopen Botley Road on Sunday 20 September 2026.
This delay will continue to impact the 400 bus service travelling between our Harcourt Hill and Headington campus sites at the start of Semester 1. The bus service will continue to be split into two, operating either side of the railway bridge, until the project is completed, with further information available on the Oxford Bus Company website.
Stagecoach has produced information on its website on how its services will be affected by the closure of Botley Road. The Oxfordshire County Council website also provides an overview of how travel is impacted by the closure.
This page will be updated in September 2026 with details of bus service changes that will be implemented when Botley Road reopens.
