FAQs

How do I get to Oxford?

We recommend where-ever you are travelling from that you take public transport. The centre of Oxford has a Zero Emission Zone (ZEZ) and parking is limited. If you are travelling up from London following FEC then you can take a train from Paddington or Marylebone, although check timetables before departing, as Sunday timetables vary and the rail unions have been calling strikes. Please do ask one of the staff at FEC if you are unsure.
