A six-month trial for a rearranged commuter link bus, which will improve connections for south Oxfordshire rail passengers, will start next week.

From Monday, the 6.20pm bus from Goring & Streatley railway station to North and South Stoke and Wallingford will leave 20 minutes later, to make a connection with the 5.36pm train from London Paddington, after requests by rail users.

Ian Hudspeth, the county council’s cabinet member for transport, said: “I hope local people will take advantage, so that it can become permanent.”
