Service Changes from 22nd February 2026

Sun 22nd Feb onwards

We'll be making some changes to our bus network from Sunday 22nd February 2026 to improve reliability and punctuality.

These changes reflect current operating conditions, following the introduction of the temporary congestion charge and free Park&Ride travel. Three months into the scheme, we have now been able to fully assess its impact on our services. This has allowed us to introduce faster journeys and more resilient timetables across a greater number of routes in and around Oxford.

While some services have benefited from improved traffic conditions, we have not seen the journey time improvements expected on service 700. To address this, we are adding an additional bus to the route to help keep services running on time.

We are also making improvements to routes 400 and N400, including an enhanced night bus frequency of up to every 30 minutes.
