New shuttle bus service to link Oxfordshire's key science campuses

General

A new shuttle bus service linking the University of Oxford's science area with Harwell Science and Innovation Campus and the Old Road Campus is to begin in July.

The service will provide an important boost to the connectivity of the region's science and innovation landscape, allowing research staff, students and visitors to move quickly and conveniently between the three sites.

The University of Oxford has commissioned University Bus Ltd (UNO) to operate the 'Science Transit Shuttle', which will start operating on 18 July and will provide a weekday minibus connection every 30 minutes between 7am and 7pm.

A group of ‘quiet’ cells in the somatosensory cortex that rarely respond to touch have been found to react mainly to surprising circumstances. The results suggest their function is not necessarily driven by touch, but may indicate an important and previously unidentified role across all the major cortices.
