Anyone use the Oxford tube (or equivilant coach) between London and Oxford on a train strike day? I'm wondering if it's completely full or more difficult to get on due to lack of trains?

It will actually be getting on in Oxford, late afternoon on a Saturday

I took the Oxford Tube yesterday afternoon from London to Oxford. Most buses were full by Notting Hill/Shepherds Bush and they ran out of luggage space before they got to those stops so anyone with a suitcase was turned away even from buses with available seats. Where would you be wanting to board? I usually get on at Shepherds Bush but went in to Marble Arch to have a better chance of a seat.

Thanks for reply. Its my teenage dd. She's travelling back from Oxford next Saturday. Sounds like it will be a good idea to go to the coach station where the bus starts from.

Yes, to be sure of getting a seat I would recommend getting on at Victoria!
