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.


I was more commenting on the suggestion of getting a bus to Gloucester
Green station from the rail station.
