Oxford is primarily served by Oxford Railway Station for train services and Gloucester Green Bus Station for coach and bus connections. London Oxford Airport (OXF) caters to general and business aviation, though larger international airports are typically used for commercial flights.
Direct train services connect Oxford with major cities like London, Birmingham, and Manchester. From London, trains depart frequently from Paddington Station (operated by GWR) and Marylebone Station (operated by Chiltern Railways). A journey from London Paddington to Oxford typically takes around 50-60 minutes.
Coach services offer a frequent and often economical way to travel to and from Oxford. The Oxford Tube operates 24/7 between Oxford and London, with services running up to every 10 minutes from central stops in Oxford and London (e.g., Victoria, Marble Arch). A one-way ticket for the Oxford Tube starts from approximately £15, with the fastest journey time to London being around 1 hour 36 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes. National Express also provides routes from various UK cities and airports, including London, Birmingham, and major London airports.
Oxford is accessible via major roads, including the M40 (from London and Birmingham) and the A34. However, parking in the city centre is limited and often expensive. Visitors are strongly encouraged to use the well-signposted Park & Ride services located around Oxford's ring road (e.g., Pear Tree, Thornhill, Redbridge, Seacourt, Oxford Parkway), which provide regular bus connections to the city centre.
