The Oxford Bus Company will operate a festive service to Gatwick and Heathrow on Christmas Day. Coaches will run to Heathrow approximately hourly and Gatwick every two hours through the main part of the day, with all services to Gatwick running via Heathrow.

It is the seventh consecutive year the Oxford Bus has operated the Airline service on Christmas Day. Phil Southall, Oxford Bus Company Managing Director, said: “We have seen year-on-year growth in the number of people using the Airline Christmas Day service and it has become an important service to our passengers. Across the festive period as a whole we have devised a combination of timetables designed to ensure we continue to provide a first-class service to customers.”

The Oxford Bus Company will run normal timetables on Christmas Eve, with an early finish on some routes. Bus services and PickMeUp will not operate on Christmas Day. Special timetables will apply to all services on Boxing Day.
