By Bus
The Stagecoach X5/905 connects Oxford and Cambridge via Bicester, Buckingham, Milton Keynes, Bedford (where through passengers have to change to the 905) and St Neots. It is a slow journey, taking about 4½ hours
The Cambridge service no longer goes through Headington, and it has to be picked up at the railway station or Gloucester Green in Oxford.
By Train
Travelling from Headington to Cambridge by train involves four stages:
- Bus from Headington to Oxford railway station
- Train from Oxford to Paddington
- Underground from Paddington to King’s Cross
- Train from King’s Cross to Cambridge
The 22-minute SkyCommuter air service between Oxford (Kidllington Airport) and Cambridge that started on 1 February 2006 was cancelled because of lack of support.
