Getting to Oxford from London – The Oxford “Tube” Coach

You want to go to Oxford from London. You can drive, quickest, quite easy. Lovely.

Or you can get a train. Nice, bug can be expensive if you haven’t booked early. On the day I checked, it was… (check, maybe £20-30 ). If you can book early, and get a £10 return train, then this is a great way to travel.

And then you have a coach. The Oxford tube or Oxford Express, the price is the chief advantage of these, £15 for a day return.

The Oxford Tube Coach had 8 seats down stairs facing each other with a table between. I think these would be the best seats for use with a laptop.

Upstairs is all normal coach seating. Nice airconditioning. A toilet is also available on board. The Sunday morning 9am trip was only about half full. Which meant I was ale to have 2 seats to myself. A blessing for a good journey.

The journey by car, takes about 45minutes, but coach, that time is doubled, to 90.
