Matthew's Journal

Yep, public transport in the Midlands leaves a lot to be desired. (Tell me about it!) Re Oxford, you're lucky; when I went there regularly, my last train was an hour or more earlier than yours. As for Stratford, I can only go when amalion and sigisgrim are going, as they bring me home; I can get there, but not back. But when I did jury service in Warwick, I could get home by bus, but Highlander had to drive me there.

FYI, the National Express coach goes between Coventry and Stratford. The times may not suit, but could be worth checking out.

PS There used to be a good bus service between Oxford and MK station - the same one that runs to Cambridge. Trains from MK run quite late to Coventry.
