Oxford benefits from an extensive public transport network with some local services stopping near/ outside certain campuses.
Oxford Bus Company has produced a map which is available to view online and provides a full overview of their bus services. If you want to track their buses you can do this via Oxford Bus Company’s app, so you will always know when your bus is due to arrive
Network Rail confirmed in July 2024 that it would be unable to reopen the Botley Road in October 2024 as previously expected. Delays to the project, which will improve the train network in Oxford, now mean that a section of the Botley Road will remain closed with the latest announcement from Network Rail stating that it will reopen at the end of August 2026.
This impacts on the 400 bus service travelling between our Harcourt and Headington campus sites. The bus service will continue to be split into two, operating either side of the railway bridge, until the project completes 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 the how travel is impacted by the closure.
Oxford park and rides
Park and Ride offers a hassle free solution from the car to access campus. Oxfordshire County Council is offering free park and ride bus journeys in Oxford until mid-August 2026. Further information can be found on the Oxfordshire County Council website.
Oxford benefits from an extensive bus travel network with Oxford Bus Company services and Stagecoach being the city's main local bus providers.
For travel from further afield, the majority of buses will stop at the Oxford Gloucester Green bus station. Located in the centre of Oxford (and near the Oxford train station), this bus station offers access to a wide range of local and connecting bus services, including services to London, Heathrow and Gatwick.
