GOOD NEWS

After a long campaign to improve transport between Carterton and the Oxford hospitals I am delighted that at last we have got a new bus service going all the way to the JR and Brookes University. The S7 will pick up from Stanmore Crescent , Carterton Crossroads and Broadshires Health Centre on an hourly service. It will drop people off at Headley Way for the JR, and bus drivers will guide you to linked services for the other hospitals .

This is initially just testing the market. If there is not sufficient demand, then it could well be discontinued. So please spread the word. Use it or lose. it!

Timetable details available from Stagecoach or on the U3A website and noticeboard.
