By Train

Direct train services connect Oxford with London's Paddington and Marylebone stations. Services also pass through from the north via Birmingham New Street and the south or west via Reading and Didcot.

If arriving via Eurostar or northern routes into London you will arrive at St Pancras or Kings Cross. From either of these you can take the underground to Paddington or Marylebone for train services to Oxford.

It is a 20 minute walk to Keble college from Oxford Station.

Please note that engineering works to upgrade Oxford Station and the rail bridge over the Botley Road are currently overrunning (July 2024). There is currently no date for the replacement of the bridge which was originally estimated to close rail routes through Oxford for 5 days. We will keep this updated as more information becomes available.

Check the National Rail website for journey planning and status and disruption updates.
