As this is a new service, and there are roadworks on The Slade, the journey times and timetable will be monitored for the first few weeks and, should it be necessary, changes to the timetable might be made. You will be notified in advance if this is the case.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO USE THE SHUTTLE
The shuttle is also available for all the Trust’s stakeholder/partners who need to travel between the OUHC and Headington sites. This includes staff going to OUH Cowley for ID checks or to meet Trust staff at the OUH Cowley site. You will need to show a current University of Oxford, OUH Cowley, OUH or NHSP ID badge. If you do not have valid ID, you risk being asked to leave the bus.
COST
There is no charge to staff for this service.
MONITORING
Staff who work at the JRH, NOC or Churchill cannot park at OUH Cowley to take the shuttle to get to work in Headington. This will be monitored and anyone trying to do so risks being asked to leave the bus.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS MY SHUTTLE?
You should wait for the next one. There are hot desks on each floor at OUH Cowley. If you call for a taxi, it will be at your own expense.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE SHUTTLE IS FULL AND I CAN’T GET ON?
The minibuses are 16 seaters and, based on current taxi usage, this should be sufficient. In the unlikely event of a minibus being full, then you should use one of the hot desks on each floor at OUH Cowley until the next shuttle. If you call for a taxi, it will be at your own expense.
WILL THE SHUTTLE BE SLOWER THAN THE TAXIS?
Because the shuttle stops at the NOC and JRH, journey times will be slightly longer than travelling direct between sites, so please factor this in when you are booking meetings.
WHAT IF THERE IS A LARGE GROUP OF US?
If a large group (10 or more) is travelling between the sites to a meeting, please contact transport@ouh.nhs.uk to discuss the options and/or make a one-off arrangement for your group.
Is there WI-FI on Board?
Not currently, but it may be introduced in the coming months
As this is a new service, there may be a few glitches in the beginning. Please be patient with the drivers as they will be doing their best to adhere to the timetables. If there are recurring or regular problems, please contact transport@ouh.nhs.uk to report these issues and all the possible solutions will be explored.
