Dennis Basford's Rails, Roads and Runways: ‘Scene’ in Oxford Part 1 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk

Oxford is one of those places that I never get tired of.

The place heaves with activity.

The University, The museums, the river and all the people involved in the activity require transport.

Sometimes by train but mainly, fortunately, by bus and sometimes coach.

A lot of visitors use one of the open top tour buses.

‘Oxford Bus Company’ being part of the ‘Go-Ahead’ group.

One of 4, originally built for ‘Southern Vectis’ but delivered to Oxford because of delays in the delivery of ‘OBC’s own vehicles.

The move was eventually made permanent but the buses still retain ‘Southern Vectis’ livery.
