Not helpful is it. NationalRail is more use telling of ticket acceptance on the Direct service bus X2.

Are you able to send through the URL to the journey planning request or the journey details (and if possible a rough time you queried) so I can investigate as to why the replacement buses aren't pulling through? I've just checked for today and it's giving replacement transport.

Not an answer, but NRE and RTT weren't showing the buses either yesterday

Until today 11 April, the bus times were not vouchsafed to any journey planners. Seems to be correct now.

Ah brilliant thanks, I knew the buses were running as required to no official timetable last week however wasn't sure if this was the case over the bank holiday. An alert linking to the nre disruption page should have been showing on our planner for it though (currently looking into why this wasn't showing).

Actually, over the Easter weekend, I think the Oxford<>Didcot non-stop buses were running as available (though possibly with an aspirational timetable); and the Radley<> Culham<>Appleford ones were running to an (unpublished, but known to the drivers) timetable.

I didn't take the buses, but the Oxford to Didcot buses were advertised on departure boards with an hourly frequency, the local ones were no advertised on departure boards.
