I've only managed £48 so far by splitting the ticket at Basingstoke. £32 with a network card. South West trains and Cross-Country seem to have abolished the cheap day return ticket. |

However, there is this for a return to Basingstoke - travel out on the specified train, back on any train. Currently £8 for May 28th. Then from Basingstoke to Oxford it's a tolerable £15 for a cheap day return. Fmail me if you can't find it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket name: Semi Flex Return Ticket description: Semi Flex Return is a partially flexible ticket where the outward journey is only valid on booked train(s), the return journey is flexible and can be made on any day within one month of the outward journey. Train operator: Island Line, South Western Railway Booking deadline: Tickets must be purchased by 23:59 the day before travel, subject to availability. Generally, the earlier the ticket is booked the better the deal. Tickets are available up to 12 weeks before travel. Refunds: Semi Flex Return tickets are non-refundable, but changes may be made - see above. Discounts: Railcard:Normal railcard discounts apply, with no discount for Network Railcard, Annual Gold Card holders or any other regional railcard. |

Pre-TBC parkrun options. University Parks, 1.3 miles by foot from Oxford Train Station. Oxford Parkrun, 1.3 miles from Oxford Parkway Station, and is near park & ride bus route. About 3 miles onward to city centre by bus. Harcourt Hill and Horsepath are ok for anyone driving. Witney is possibly an option for anyone driving from the West using A40. Oxford city parking is limited and not cheap, but park & rides from N,E,S,W & NW are good. |

I'll be park and riding from Peartree I expect. LazyDaisy Expect 5-10 mins delay just before the roundabout where you’ll turn towards Peartree. Just roadworks. |

I'm sure those roadworks have been there as long as we've been living in England.
