    I would recommend and use this Park and Ride again when heading into Oxford; it is modern, clean, safe and has full facilities (heated waiting area, free clean toilets). Minor issue is it is not clear with instructions when arrival; so tips are: -upon entry turn right and then right again to park near the waiting area and ticket machine areas. -two ticket machines on the left are for parking and shuttle bus (as of writing was £6.80; great value for 1 day return). The ones on the right side of a facilities appear to be for additional bus (for more than 2 adults as per the photo). -there is no need to display tickets as you use it for the bus and there are camera operations. -bus is the number 400 and only circa 2 stops to the Oxford station.

    It is a rip off Park and Ride by the Oxford city council. No signposting from the main road, had trouble reaching the place. Unless you purchase a parking ticket within 10 minutes of arrival there is a £100 fine. The parking machines are all at the bus stop a fair walk. Two of the machines were not working and the other would not accept contactless payment. Eventually paid by chip and pin, which was very slow to authorise payment. Eventually paid and took the bus. We were expecting to be dropped off at Westgate shopping centre. The driver promptly took the fare and dropped off at the first stop as the road ahead was closed for roadworks. This has been for several weeks yet there was no warning by the driver. We essentially paid £5 for 2 tickets for 200 yard bus travel. Oxford city council - we expect more honesty and fairness from the council.

    Loads of parking and a short distance to walk to the bus. Very reasonable price tickets for the bus and only £2 to park the car (buy the ticket at the bus stop, you don't need to display in the car). Clean buses with wifi👍

    Fabulous park and ride, a little confusing ticket machine, but soon sussed it out. Very clean and reasonably priced for parking AND bus travel with a combined ticket. Buses are frequent, fast and clean with convienent drop off/pick up points. The one BIG MINUS was the one and only chargemaster electric vehicle charging point. It was almost buried in the bushes and required a RIFD card to operate it, which we don't have. This is sooo outdated. We were almost stranded there needing to recharge, which we thought we'd be able to do while visiting Oxford. But nope. This really needs sorting as it doesn't encourage electric vehicle use.

    If travelling to Oxford use this park and ride. It appears to be a very clean place, and also has very clean toilets here too. Please note you pay for your car park ticket but you don’t need to display it as the park and ride has ANPR cameras. For my fiancé and I it was £5 return but the last park and ride bus, I believe, is like near midnight? You catch it to come back to the park and ride by Westgate shopping centre. Will definitely be using again that’s for sure.

    Faultless park and ride experience into Oxford City centre! We paid £2.40 to park the car for the day, then it was £5 return for two people into Oxford. We got off right outside Westgate shopping centre and were picked up in the same spot (opposite side of the road). Didn’t have to wait for the bus either side, and paid far less for the whole thing than we would have done parking in central Oxford.

    The area we parked in only had signage with a qr code to pay for parking. There was no information about park and ride tickets. I consider this very unhelpful and particularly so for the elderly without very adept use of phones. Fortunately we have both qr code savvy and bus passes so we were OK but this wouldn't be true for everyone. Could do better.

    This is definitely much easier than risking driving into Oxford and finding a parking spot. I spent the weekend in Oxford with my friends, and was the only one who had a stress free parking experience. Just plan to spend a while in the queue waiting for a spot on the bus. The buses were slow in Oxford traffic. We ended up just walking back from the center of Oxford to our car instead of waiting for a spot on the bus. The car was safe and secure and it was a great price.

    Wish I'd read some reviews before using this facility. As soon as you enter there are signs warning you to buy your parking ticket within 10 minutes or face a £100 fine. I scanned the QR code and registered with Hozah, assuming - given there is no signage to say otherwise - it was the park and ride system. On reaching the bus stop, however, I was frustrated to find that I had registered (and would have to pay for only parking because of anpr) using a completely different system and would have to pay again for parking and the bus ride with a different system. That Oxford council allow Hozah to run this separate system without making it clear it's not the park and ride, is disgraceful. To add salt into the wound, the bus route ended after only 1/4 mile as road works blocked the route. The driver said nothing about this when we boarded and paid full price, and had to bellow down the bus "last stop" to a bus load of people understandably confused and not getting off so far from town, which we were now required to walk. It's poor that the council have not included signage explaining the bus cannot actually take you where you're expecting, or bus drivers don't warn you, but are still taking full fare. So my first introduction to Oxford was feeling like I'd been scammed twice in the space of 20 minutes 😡

    Fantastic place to park and ride into Oxford. Be aware that at the time we went, the Botley road into Oxford is closed so bus stops just this side of the bridge, its then a 10 minute walk into the city. £5 for car parking with a bus ride for two people. Park and ride is open until late with the last bus back around 23:00

    Can’t give zero stars so please ignore the star please. Awful experiences both directions to and from Oxford Station yesterday. I ended up in tears which spoilt a lovely day visiting my Aunt. Road works around station are no excuse for the total lack of bus service I experienced. Waited about 15 mins for a bus which arrived full and couldn’t get on. Was referred to bus stop on main road. Stopped 10 mins walk from station and I had to run to catch my train and my feet aren’t young anymore. Coming back had to walk the 1.5 miles back as no buses at all and no taxis past me. There is no excuse for this lack of service. Will never ever use this service again.

    Easy access park and ride. Bus into town only as far as Osney bridge due to major railway works closing Botley road. Was as quick to walk back as the bus would have been.

    I found it easy to pay for online using my phone, seems pretty secure and well kept. Lots of CCTV cameras everywhere if you’re parking overnight and leaving the car. My only objection is paying sky high prices for the bus into Oxford from the park and ride. £8.50 to park there and a further £6.00 open return for 2 adults. If they want more people to use this service it should be complementary and at no cost. It’s just my opinion as the high street will suffer in the long run.

    Stress free park and ride. Although the ticket machine is not easy to use for first time user's, often issuing a ticket before they realise to add additional adults and for the sake of a pound, the single bus ticket then costs an additional 3 pounds

    Seacourt is pretty easy to get to coming from the east, but the actual entrance to the car park is pretty unclear and poorly marked so don't be surprised if you sail past. The car park itself is large but with very little shade. This means unless you park on the edge of the car park at the right time of day you will return to a super heated car in summer. The car park markings are confusing with one way systems that just seem to endlessly loop. The ticketing is confusing on both app and the last few remaining cash machines. I have never managed to get parking and the supposedly discounted bus tickets for more than one person through the machines. The bus service is, when bridge repairs are not underway, a great and family regular way to get into the city with easy access to most of the areas you would want to see.

    Refurved since my last visit. At least there is somewhere to wait out of the rain now and loos. Could have been so much more - cafe, comfortable seating, explanation around fact 'normal buses' were being used. But that aside I like park n ride good idea 👍

    Seacourt Park and Ride, amazing value for money. Used it today to get near to the start of the Oxford Half Marathon. Plenty of spaces. Perhaps some charge points for electric vehicles may be a good idea with today's vehicle choices. Indoor Bus shelter at this terminal.

    Really convenient and good value. The machines to pay for parking and a bus ticket were a bit tricky if you had more than two adults. They were limited to 2 adults(under 16s were free). We ended up getting the additional adult ticket on the bus separately.

    Well done to Oxford City Council for providing an excellent Park and Ride service. Other Councils need to take note on Oxford's pricing structure. £2 for 16 hours of parking. £4 for 16 hours of parking plus a return bus journey into the City Centre, or £5 for 16 hours of parking plus return bus journeys for two adults is an excellent price.

    Good experience. £6.80 to park your car and use the bus (which covers 2 or 3 adults I think. Annoyingly you have to pay using the right ticket machine. Why not just make it payable on the bus like every other park & ride in the country!

  • 4/5 Constantin C. 1 year ago on Google
    Easy acces. Payment machines should be better explained, organized, as many people struggle to understand how to pay the bus after they had payed the parking. If you pay just for parking, then pay the bus ticket on the bus, if you use the payment machines for the bus ticket you will pay the parking twice.

  • 5/5 Vicki C. 2 years ago on Google
    A great way to get into the city centre. It is clearly signposted from West Ox where we were heading from and plenty of parking available. The ticket covered our whole group (2 adults and 3 children) which made it a really reasonable bus journey and the littlest one was so excited to be on the top floor of a bus seeing all the sights! We were pleased not to have too long to wait for the bus at either end of our trip.
