Now we are back in the league and maybe getting a larger crowd and larger amount of away fans visiting.
Looking at this from a visitors point of view are the transport links good enough?
It must be a bit of a struggle for someone arriving at Oxford train station who does not know where the ground is.
Even for the home support the transport is not great...

Maybe the bus company's should ask drivers to make an announcement to when to get off the bus. Its a 5 min walk to the ground.
Will the football special buses be back?

Yup, but its not the end of the world if they signpost the stadium for walkers. Look at the map of where the bus stop is (to get off/on) to the stadium. 2-3 min walk. www.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Pegasus+Rd&daddr=51.717119,-1.206865&hl=en&geocode=FbYrFQMdLJ3t_w%3B&mra=ls&dirflg=w&sll=51.718195,-1.204859&sspn=0.004879,0.009645&ie=UTF8&ll=51.718043,-1.205159&spn=0.004879,0.009645&t=h&z=17 |

It is not just getting to the ground its parking when you get there. The Priory car park will be packed. It’s a great problem to have. Football league.

There may well be more visiting coaches that need to be parked this season as well..

If a team ever bring more than 3/4 coaches. which will be very rare. Hardly any team will being more than 2. There is space for couple to park next to players coach in between Ox Mail and South stand. Some club coaches have even left the ground and parked down Oxpens. So the odd visiting coach will not be a problem. But we must have football specials back |

Football Special a definite yes.
An old chestnut, but a railway halt on the freight only line that goes to BMW/Mini? Ok, that'll be a nightmare regarding red tape.

I had to travel from Bicester to Oxford via Train for the York game. Knowing I had to catch the Number 5 to Blackbird Leys.
There were a few York who knew we were Oxford (because of the shirt) and one asked if i was going directly to the Stadium and they just followed us on the £1.50 bus to Blackbird leys and the 5minute walk.
there are Plenty of Oxford on those buses so unless they have problem following Oxford fans they should be fine.
