Oxford Bus Company is to start laying on extra buses on Sundays from two park-and-ride sites in the run-up to Christmas.

Starting this Sunday, the 300 service that links Redbridge and Pear Tree park-and-rides with the city centre will run up to every nine minutes during shop opening hours.

Operations director Louisa Weeks said: “Sunday is now one of the busiest shopping days of the week and we are expecting an increase in passengers heading for the city centre shops.”
