OK. Oxford railway station is about 10 minutes' walk into the city centre
(taking the centre to be Carfax crossroads). If his office is in the
centre, there are buses from the station or from the bus stops nearby near
the Jam Factory / Said Business School. There may also be buses from here
to other parts of Oxford; failing that it may be necessary to change at
Gloucester Green bus station off George Street.


Gloucester Green is easy walking distance from the station.


Having looked at the latest Oxford Bus Co timetables, I see that only
the 14/14A, and 5/5A serve the station and any point west of Magdalen
Street or Queen Street nowadays. The Botley Road services, Park & Ride
and UniversityBus go past on the main road, of course. The 14 is a
half-hourly service, so in its absence a 5 to Carfax and a walk down
the Cornmarket to Magdalen Street is the best way of heading north.

Gloucester Green only gives you out-of-town buses.
