NEW £130 MILLION COMMUTER ROUTE TO LONDON TO OPEN!

By: Nicholas Newman 26 October 2012

The new service will take just under an hour. That is just eight minutes faster than the existing fastest Oxford London train service and 30 minutes faster than the current competing express coach services X90 and London Tube. The new service links Oxford with Water Eaton, Islip, Bicester, Thame, High Wycombe, Wembley Stadium and London Marylebone. There are initial plans for just two trains an hour.http://www.oxfordprospect.co.uk/COMMUTER-ROUTE-TO-LONDON-TO-OPEN!.html

A look at Spring in Oxford

Daffodil Time.

Julia Gasper 6 July 2011 I sometimes think that if we had to have only one flower in the whole year – a sort of Desert Island flower – it would have to be the daffodil. Nothing else quite so joyously announces that Spring has come around again. This year I have been noticing how the fancy varieties of daffodil are getting more and more predominant until you can hardly find any of the ordinary, old-fashioned, plain ones, by which I mean yellow daffodils, with a trumpet in the middle, and just a single, not a double flower. There are every other possible kind to be seen – many of them white, which are all very well for contrast now and then, but not really as cheerful as the familiar golden daffodil of childhood memory. There are white daffodils with a yellow middle, or a flat orange middle, looking like a fried egg, and there are those fussy little white narcissi, with several heads on one stalk. I have even seen some so-called daffodils that look like chrysanthemums, with spiky petals sticking out in all directions – whatever is the point of that http://www.oxfordprospect.co.uk/Daffodil-Time.html
