• Cropredy served by routes 497 and 501 on Thursdays and Saturdays • Claydon served by route 497 on Thursdays 

• R indicates that the service operates to these points on request only

Particular questions related to service D:  

• Is there enough time in Banbury for each service? 

• What days of the week should this service run, bearing in mind the existing  provision for Cropredy and Claydon? 

• Is a minibus (16 seats) likely to be sufficient? 

• Is there likely to be sufficient demand for this service?
