Headington / London Roadworks

posted 22-July-2010
The west-bound stop "Headington Shops HS2" will be closed for around five weeks. Coaches and buses from the Green Road roundabout direction will be stopping on the eastern side of Windmill Road. The 10 going towards the JR Hospital will use a temporary stop at the top of Windmill Road. There should be comprehensive notices at the stop(s).

The "Headington Shops HS1" stop (east-bound) on London Road, adjacent to Osler Road, is back in use. This is the stop for the 10 going towards Cowley and the 400 going towards Thornhill P&R.

Banbury-Oxford services (59/59A/59B)

Stagecoach are extensively re-structuring their fleet of buses over the next few weeks and months to provide newer, greener, more comfortable vehicles for passengers. Unfortunately it is going to be extremely difficult to guarantee that the buses which serve the Banbury-Oxford routes are fully RTI-compliant during this process. It has therefore been decided that while the changes are in progress the 59/59A/59B will not be shown on Oxontime as an RTI-service as this will be the least confusing scenario. We regret any confusion this may cause and look forward to significantly enhancing the provision of Oxontime RTI services in the Banbury region later this year. (April 17th, 2010)

NEW ... SMS Service is now available for London stops

To date no bus stops in the Greater London area have been assigned official SMS code numbers. To get around this and enable the Oxontime SMS service for customers of the X90 and the Oxford Tube (and also the X70 and X80 airline services) we have created our own SMS codes for these stops. They can be found on this website listed on the stops list for the relevant services and are unlikely to be publicised at the stop - so you may want to make a note of them before you travel. They will only provide information for the Oxfordshire services and not for any other services passing the same stops.

When official SMS codes are rolled-out at these stops it will eventually be preferable to change to those codes but we will publicise this when it happens.
