PRAISE where praise is due.

It normally takes me over an hour to get to Summertown from outer Headington, but with the fairly new 800 service from Thornhill Park and Ride, changing to the 700 at the JR Hospital, I can make it in 25 minutes.

It made me aware that the hospital is a very valuable changeover site, avoiding the centre.

Are there other sites around Oxford, perhaps the Park and Rides – if they were efficiently linked – which could provide the opportunity of travel across Oxford without going to the centre?
