Looks like the (post-Botley Road reopening) replacement to the 14 bus as a link from the Oxford rail station to the JR Hospital will be an extended 4 route that runs from Botley to Risinghurst (via the High Street & London Road rather than N Oxford & Marston).

Risinghurst needs a direct city centre bus not one that trails all round Marston on route. the current service is beyond a joke and this will be no better.

The Oxford Clarion reports that when the Botley Road reopens, bus changes will probably include:
400 (from Thame/Thornhill) extended to Seacourt Park & Ride
4A and 14 replaced by a new cross-city 4 service, running Botley–city centre–Marston–Risinghurst

Perhaps Cllr Epps might look at the fact Risinghurst is about to lose its bus service and do something about it if he is so keen on bus travel!

At the end of the day it serves nobody because it takes too long to get anywhere. Risinghurst needs a bus direct through Headington to Oxford. They should make 1 in 3 Barton buses serve Risinghurst as the 8a . It would only add 10-12 mins to the 8 service and work for everyone.

That bus is expected to do too much: on top of serving Risinghurst, Northway, and Old Marston, it is the *only* bus service between Oxford railway station and the John Radcliffe Hospital

A fact that is completely unsurprising to anyone familiar with those areas (I might have thought Risinghurst would have a higher proportion of car ownership though).

Headington Festival weekend always held the weekend following late May bank holiday and Risinghurst & Sandhills Parish fete & picnic the following Sunday. I love local events you can just walk or cycle too. Could we see a yearly calendar emerge?
