Where the fuck is Oxford?

[Edgar Graham]

I just bought tickets for a gig in Oxford, what's the best way to get there?

Should I just drive?

Thank you.

ho ho....drive to oxford? from the Deen...

takes a good 10 hours.

[Guest Neubeatz]

Or 7, if you blackout your rear number plate...............................

The drive is a bit of a nightmare.

Depending on how far away (time wise) the gig is, your best bet is the train or the plane. Personally I always get the plane to heathrow, there's a bus direct from heathrow to the centre of oxford, costs about 15. If you can book reasonably far in advance, flights are 50-70, which is the same as the train, which is a nightmare at about 9 hours.

Its harder to get to Stansted from oxford, although the flights are cheaper I guess, but I believe there are supposed to be direct buses, the company's just not as clear.

Whereabouts is the gig?

or you can get the mega bus for £5 from aberdeen to london :-)

or you can get the mega bus for 5 from aberdeen to london :-)

If you're brave! I couldnt handle like 13 hours on a bus.

Mind you 5 would be nice compared to 50. But then I'd never have room for all my uni stuff.

It's at the brookes university or something, on the 22nd of may. So I won't be able to buy tickets that far in advance. Which airline do you generally use?

[crooked*smile]

Ooo my finals start on the 22nd, what fun.

I tend to go with BA so my dad gets the airmiles, but BMI usually is a bit cheaper. You should be able to get tickets for about £60 for then I reckon.

the bus from heathrow stops rights outside Brookes.

[Edgar Graham]

cheers, thanks for the help.

[crooked*smile]

No problem. Hope the gig is good. And be warned, oxford is about as expensive as london.

[Guest Hon Jonda]

Oxford is in Wales and you have to take a hovercraft to get there

[dougfast]

it will take you 8/9 hours to driver there done it a few times

[Alvin Starclusk]

Of course you could use the tools available to you on the internet to find out the information for yourself. I'll give you a clue, some of them start:

www.goog

www.easyje

www.thetrainli

www.multim

Lazy bastard.

There's no way to fly into Stansted from Aberdeen though

Ok so thats the worst plan ever then

[RicoAUBL]

why would you goto standstead anyways?

heathrow is much closer

you could drive or get a bus from heathrow to oxford no bother

or you could get a bus from heathrow to reading and hop on a train to oxford from reading station

Oxford Brookes Uni is on the other side of town from the station i think

so you'd have to get a cab or another bus out there..

[crooked*smile]

I only suggested stanstead cos the flights might be a lot cheaper.

And if you're going to heathrow, it doesnt make sense to then go to reading, as there are buses that go straight from heathrow to the door of oxford brookes. and yeah, oxford brookes is miles from the station.
