The University is working closely with Network Rail and Oxford County Council to gain an understanding of the mitigation measures that will be implemented during this period. At this stage, Network Rail is liaising with train providers to explore contingency plans to ensure minimum impact.
The following rail replacement bus services have been proposed for this period. However, this is subject to change so please check the websites of these train providers closer to your time of travel to confirm these contingency plans.

- Didcot Parkway - Oxford (non-stop) x3 per hour
- Didcot Parkway - Radley - Oxford (hourly)
- Didcot Parkway - Appleford - Culham - Radley - Oxford (hourly)
