Advantages: stressfree, quick, easy to use Disadvantages: may be separated if bus is full up
...However, somebody recommended the Oxford Tube, so we decided to give ourselves a stress free trip and not have to worry about parking and booked the Oxford Tube instead.
What is the Oxford Tube? Well, The Oxford Tube is a bus service that at peak times runs every 15 minutes between Oxford and London. We were very happy with the Tube and will definitely be using it again.
There are a number of stops in Oxford where you can get on and off, namely:
... ...Clements, Oxford Brookes University, Headington, Gladstone Road, Green Road and Sandhills. We got on at Thornhills Park and Ride which is on the edge of Oxford.
Parking here is free and there are toilets available. At the moment it is a bit of a building site, as they are building shelters and nicer toilets for the future. We arrived at 9am and while we were getting out of the car, 2 Oxford Tube buses turned up. One was nearly full so we got on ...

Advantages: Cheap, fast, reliable Disadvantages: Stops can be hard to spot
...a nightmare to drive to, Oxford has been blessed with a spanking new motorway that links it directly with London. And I am tempted to think that similar logic lies behind the establishment of this service. I have no idea why the Oxford Tube exists. There's really no other service like it. The first thing to say is that it is nothing whatsoever to do with the London tube. It's not even a train. Basically it's a coach service that runs between Oxford ... ...better service. The Oxford Tube starts from Victoria but can be caught from a series of stops through West London. To find it at Victoria, go the tube/train station, locate Campus travel which is just up from the london bus are, on your way up to the bus station. DO NOT go to the bus station, the Tube does not go from here - an understandable error that many make. Locate Campus travel, stand outside and you'll see to your right just down the street ...

Advantages: cheaper than the train, 24 hour service Disadvantages: takes forever
The Oxford Tube is a bus service which runs from Oxford's Gloucester Green bus station to Victoria in London and back again via the M40. It has the following stops throughout Oxford and London:
Oxford: Gloucester Green Bus Station
Speedwell Street (getting on only, Mon-Fri 0800-1800)
St Aldates (getting off only)
High Street
St Clements
Oxford Brookes University
Headington Shops
Gladstone Road (getting off only)
Green Road roundabout (getting ... ...2) Its frequency - the Oxford Tube runs every ten - fifteen minutes in both directions during the day and about every twenty - thirty minutes at night.
3) The fact that it runs until about 3am in both directions.
However, this bus takes FOREVER. It is not the actual motorway driving which takes the time, it is getting in and out of London and Oxford, because of all the various stops it has to make. Particularly getting in and out of Oxford, surprisingly. ...
