Sir – I would like to take up John Simms’s excellent point about the routeing of London coach traffic (Letters, February 4).

Rather than make coaches go a very long way round to arrive at the Thornhill park-and-ride, I would suggest that every second coach should be routed up the Banbury Road and Headley Way.

This would reduce traffic in central Oxford, relieve the bottleneck in St Clements and provide a service to Summertown, Marston and the John Radcliffe Hospital.

I would also abolish the Queens Lane stop altogether.
