@Stagecoach_Ox 2110 s3 from Oxford to Chipping Norton driver seems to have got lost. He's just turned down the road to Combe and Charlbury.

The Ruffian has LANDED. This week's is about academic historians who are destroying their own discipline. https://t.co/qkpoqehXkQ

.@Stagecoach_Ox Second time this week that the 2110 s3 from Oxford has failed to show up, without any explanation or apology. Care to offer either?

[Richard Ashdowne @RKAshdowne]

@Stagecoach_Ox can you rethink which stops on Magdalen Road are used by the S3 and S5? They always seem to be competing for the same spot and the S3 regularly loses and runs late.
