Exciting changes are coming to Oxford Tube

We’ve been listening to you and from 9 March 2026, we’re making some big improvements to keep Oxford Tube the number one choice between Oxford and London.

Here’s what’s new:

• Brand-new stop close to Acton Main Line with easy connections across London via the Elizabeth line, including Heathrow
• Shepherd’s Bush served on every journey for Westfield Shopping Centre
• A simple, more reliable route
• New weekend journeys to and from Witney and Carterton
• Enhanced discount when you buy on the Oxford Tube app
• The same fair pricing: no peak fares, no luggage charges

Simpler, Smarter Route

We’re focusing on what we do best: frequent Oxford–London services, with well-placed stops and great onward connections.

New stop: Acton Main Line

We’re introducing a brand-new stop near Acton Main Line station.

From here, you can connect quickly and easily via the Elizabeth line to:

• Central London
• East London
• West London
• Heathrow Airport

It’s never been easier to reach more of London.

Shepherd’s Bush on every journey

From 9 March, every core Oxford–London service will serve Shepherd’s Bush for Westfield London.

We’ll no longer serve White City, but you’ll now have consistent access to one of the UK’s most popular shopping and leisure destinations on every trip.

Baker Street changes

Following customer feedback, we’re simplifying our daytime route and will no longer serve Baker Street during the day.

However, we know how popular this stop is with commuters, so we’re keeping:

Two morning peak express journeys, departing Gloucester Green at:

• 05:27
• 05:52

These express services will:

• Serve all stops from Gloucester Green to Thornhill
• Then run direct to Acton Main Line
• Continue to Baker Street (Marylebone Town Hall), Marble Arch and London Victoria

Fast, direct and ideal for early commuters.

West Oxfordshire – now including weekends

Since launching in October 2023, our West Oxfordshire service has grown in popularity, so we’re expanding it.

From 9 March 2026:

• 2 morning journeys to London on Saturdays & Sundays
• 2 late afternoon / early evening return journeys

Weekday journeys will continue as early morning departures to London and late afternoon/early evening returns, now with improved punctuality.

Please check the updated timetable for full details.

Bicester Village

Our Bicester Village trial service (launched in 2024) will now come to an end as part of our route simplification.

Customers travelling to Bicester Village can connect from Oxford City Centre via the Stagecoach S5 service.
