BY BUS
OXFORD TUBE
The Oxford Tube runs from 03:25 every hour with services departing London Victoria and arriving into Oxford Gloucester Green Bus Station - approximately 15 minutes walk to the race village.
The 06:25 service arriving into Oxford at 08:06 will likely be busy and may reach capacity - services are based on a first come, first served basis. We suggest you arrive early, and aim to board at the start of the route at Victoria Station.
Please note: Purchasing a ticket in advance for the Oxford Tube doesn’t guarantee a seat on a specific service if that bus is then full. For more information, including ticket prices and timetables, visit their website.

Please note, the earliest London service into Oxford does NOT arrive in time for you to start the race. If travelling from London, we strongly recommend the Oxford Tube or arriving into Oxford on Saturday 11 October.
