My walk-on off-peak single ticket from Didcot to Bicester Village

was a very reasonable £8.60. Good value when one considers the environment in which I was travelling and the speed. The two bus journies onwards from Bicester to Milton Keynes and thence to Roade cost a total £16 and took an absolute earth. In addition, they were chronically late taking over two hours to do the journey with the second bus being extremely hot and unpleasant. Off course, there was no representative from Stagecoach handing out delay-repay forms when I arrived at my destination!
