Improved bus service
Starting 2 June 2008, the bus service through the village dramatically improved, with buses to Didcot every 30 minutes, and an hourly, direct, and fast, service to Oxford. This, X32, will be non-stop between Didcot and Oxford (no wandering through all the villages), and will take only 38 minutes. Just as quick as using the Park and Ride, and probably cheaper, especially if you have a bus pass.
If you are catching a train at Didcot, the half hour service will increase the chance of connecting with your train, and there are even a few early evening buses. (from the station, every 30 mins until just after 2100)
Let people know about the service, and support it, or lose it. Here's the timetable.

Due to roadworks affecting Speedwell Street and St. Aldates the X32 will start and finish from stop I outside Hobbs in the HIGH STREET, Oxford from August 4th until the 21st November 2008. The inward route will change and be via Donnington Bridge Road, Iffley Road, The Plain, High Street.
The outward route from OXFORD will be via Abingdon Road. The X32 will NOT serve stop H5 in St. Aldates. After leaving stop I in the High Street the next stop will be outside the Police Station, St. Aldates.
