New Stagecoach Bus Route Connects Oxford Parks and Key Locations

Stagecoach West will launch route 600 on February 23. This new Oxford bus route offers better transport, linking Redbridge Park & Ride to key locations. Places include Oxford Science Park and Greater Leys. It also serves Cowley Centre and Churchill Hospital. Oxford Brookes University and JR Hospital are on the route, and it connects to Thornhill Park & Ride too.

The service runs every thirty minutes, Monday through Saturday. Evening and Sunday services run hourly. Electric buses will serve the new route, improving commutes from park and ride sites. The buses deliver links for major city employers.

Chris Hanson at Stagecoach West is happy about the initiative. He noted that it greatly improves transport options and supports access to employment sites, including Science Park, Oxford Brookes, and hospitals. Customers can buy tickets at park and ride sites, with prices starting at £4, offering good value.

Andrew Gant, a council member, spoke about the new service, saying it gives residents a terrific choice. Congestion management directly resulted in this. Electric buses operate silently on the roads. The council is proud of its bus operator partnerships, and more public transport improvements are coming.

Other Stagecoach network changes occur Sunday too. Service S7 will now start and end at Corn Street, extended beyond Witney Market Square. The popular S2 service has new trips, with early morning and late evening journeys added between Witney and Oxford. Some early trips go via Yarnton.

Stagecoach West will stop operating service H2. This change came with a council tender. Pulhams Coaches will run route H2 from Sunday.
