Comments
Ugly, smelly, open from 3 side, so very windy and cold, seats are not even proper seats, very uncomfortable, waiting room and toilets are locked from 6pm. Make sure you don't need to wait there in the evening
It's a shame for a place like Oxford
Some buses go directly to small airports, where with a train you need to change 2 to 3 times. A train changing is happening in London where you are expected to move between stations ...in time...
If you travel to an airport, you may have a luggage and it makes changing stations challenging. Also, train seems to be a double of the price...
Oxford to Luton costed 20.20 ponds, and in 2 hours you are there.
Lastly, stuff in the bus station were very helpful and polite.
Surprisingly, I experienced an arrogance and rudeness in Oxford train station when asking for help to buy a ticket.
I choose Bus ;)!
