Hi all,
Sometimes I'd like to hop on a local train for a stop or two to go for a walk, take some photographs, etc. So I was wondering what the cheapest way of doing so is. Here's what I've found so far.
Does anyone know of any other tickets that may be useful please?
Also, does the "Oxford Evening Out" validity end at 2359 or 0429? And is it possible to get them from anywhere other than the ticket office?
Thanks
Ian

- The simplest would be a day return, of course. For one stop along each of the lines these are:
Code:Oxford - Radley off-peak day return: £3.30 (W3 Both not Mon-Fri before 0900) Oxford - Radley anytime day return: £4.00 Oxford - Islip off-peak day return: £2.20 (B5 Out not Mon-Fri before 0830) Oxford - Islip anytime day return: £3.20 Oxford - Tackley off-peak day return: £3.30 (W4 Both not Mon-Fri before 0845) Oxford - Tackley anytime day return: £5.90 Oxford - Hanborough off-peak day return: £2.80 (W4 Both not Mon-Fri before 0845) Oxford - Hanborough anytime day return: £4.10
- I would only use it infrequently, so I assume a season ticket would not be good value.
- There is an "Oxfordshire Day Ranger" (Mon-Fri only after 0930), but again at £14.30 it is unlikely to work out cheaper when using local trains as the train frequency is not high enough to make enough journeys easily.
- More interesting is "Oxford Evening Out" (All days not before 1850, or earlier from certain stations), at only £3.
- Also potentially useful are the "Carnet tickets Oxford / Islip / Bicester Town", offering 9-for-the-price-of-10 on either day return.
