Default Oxford Tube Journey Time please

Hi Everyone,

Apologies; I am aware this is a London website. However, I am struggling
to find any similar forums for Oxford.

I have been searching for a new job for nearly two years. Finally I have
found something that will really suit me, and it could be a massive
career boost. I meet all of the criteria so fancy my chances. One
problem: its in central London and I live near Oxford.

I thought initially no problem, I will get the train until I looked at
the season ticket costs (£4.5k). So I have been looking into the Oxford
Tube.

I want to get the 7am Oxford Tube service to Marble Arch. The price
would be just over £1k for a 12 month period and is actually less than I
spend on fuel for my current job!

Problem is the coach operators never give a journey time because of
traffic.

This is the 'express service' which does not stop at Lewknor,
Hillingdon, Sheperd’s Bush, and Notting Hill Gate. Sounds good. Lewknor
is quite a delay I understand.

Has anyone done this journey on this specific bus? If so, please give me
an idea of the time it takes. I am aware it will be a relatively long
time, but I am prepared to do this for the career opportunity. I just
need to get an idea before applying.

Thanks

I've used the service quite a bit, I can't give specific journey times
but there is normally very little delay serving Lewknor.
