To coincide with the start of the national rail timetable on Monday 11th December, we will be making some changes to the connecting Railbus timetables. These are now available on the website.

Railbus C1
As a result of changes to train times at Charlbury, we have had to amend the times of Railbus journeys, with a slight reduction in the number of buses from Shipton and within Charlbury Town, although Leafield will get a better service.

Buses will continue to connect with all morning trains to Oxford and London, and in the evening, the bus will meet the 1551, 1722 and 1822 trains from Paddington.

Railbus X8
Many journeys have been retimed slightly to ensure connections are maintained with the new train times at Kingham. Please check our timetable carefully as some buses will run earlier than they do now.

As far as possible, a similar pattern of bus service will operate six days a week, Mondays to Saturdays, connecting with similarly timed trains on these days.

In Bledington, Railbus X8 will now terminate in New Road and will no longer serve The Green due to traffic problems where the bus turns round in the village.

Route X8A
This service has been combined into the main Railbus X8 service, with buses now operating directly between Cornwell and Kingham in both directions. Buses will no longer serve Salford Hill (Cross Hands PH).

Buses will run approximately 30 minutes later than now from Cornwell and Salford, arriving in Chipping Norton at 1039, and returning at 1240.
