A reduction in the number of London coaches travelling along Oxford's High Street should be central to improvements to the historic road, transport planners will be told. Traders claim the 2,500 buses and coaches a day thundering up the High Street could be significantly cut if up to a third of London coaches could be kept away from the city centre (link below.)

And they are calling for fines generated by the bus gate to be used for improvements to the famous street.

At a meeting to discuss future plans for the High Street, council officers will be asked to investigate the idea of some London buses running to and from park-and-rides on the edge of the city.
