What is the most convenient way to Oxford from Bristol?

[cowboy]

Hi all,

I have an afternoon job interview in John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and I'll be travelling from Bristol. What is the most convenient way to get there from Bristol; by coach or by train?

I believe train is the fastest way but the train station in Oxford is kinda far from the hospital. The coach to Oxford from London, on the other hand...I'm not even sure if it passes by the hospital.

I would greatly appreciate any kind of help. Cheers!

The coach between Oxford and London stops in Headington, which according to the hospital web site is 8 minutes walk away.

However I can't see it being the slightest use to you travelling from Bristol - you are surely not planning to go into London and come out again?

Coach from Bristol to Oxford is useless - one a day requiring an overnight stay in each direction for your interview time!

Get the train. There a bus route from the station to the JR and more options from the city centre

Right...Thanks, dzug. I was thinking that the coach rides to London then to Oxford is more straight-forward (without the changes of trains and figuring out which bus to get to the hospital from the train station) but probably I'll waste too much time there. I'll get the train then... :money:Cheers!

Well I suppose going via London is simple - but it's adding well over 100 miles unnecessary travel to your journey

Yeah...true. A bit silly of me. =) Pretty nervous about the interview tomorrow. I'm so desperate for a job.

I would say the simplest route is probably as follows:

Train - Bristol Temple Meads to Oxford (Changing at Didcot Parkway) 90mins
Bus No.14 - Oxford Station to JR direct 30 mins
