You do have the choice of other modes, the Oxford Tube bus springs to mind. Only takes just over and an hour and a half and drops you more convienently in the centre of each city than the railway does!

Not all Oxford services are HSTs.

Hehe

well I dont catch the train much, but I can only think of one incident ages ago where the service was poor. But most of the time, the staff and service is great
One thing I will say, and I know this can apply to more than one TOC but your prices are stupidly high :/

Book early. I've found some great FGW fares if you don't mind restricted travelling times

It's surprisingly easy to fare evade on FGW...
(I will say that I've never done it for fear of the time I try being the time I'm proved wrong!)

ATW is quite good for that (coming from a passenger who DOES pay the ticket prices)
