The Oxford Guide

This wonderful coach service takes you to London cheaply, quickly, and (for a coach) comfortably. And it runs ridiculously frequently; every 12 minutes during the day, and right through the night at reduced frequencies. For those trying to catch the bus in London, the Victoria stop is really at Grosvenor gardens - this has caused a little confusion.

This service is Stagecoach Oxford's rival to the Oxford Bus Company's Oxford Express; the two services are fairly similar but tickets are not usually transferrable between the two.

Perhaps the main advantage of the Oxford Tube over the Oxford Express is that it offers wireless internet access. Kami, who is a regular traveller on the service, says that it does have a patch around Lewknor where the signal drops for around 20 minutes; also, on about 20% of his journeys the signal strength is very low and on about 10% of journeys the router messes up either all the way or when it comes back from the Lewknor outage.

There is also power available for your laptop, but again Kami says that it's been unavailable on about 10% of his journeys. Normally though, if the power is off, the driver can turn it back on again if you ask.

It town stops are:

• Bus station
• [Queen's Lane]?
• St. Clement's
