Waiting At Queen's Lane Bus Stop

This is a very busy area on the High Street for buses.  Not only do most of the local buses that use the High Street stop in this area, but also all the coaches that travel to both London, Gatwick and London Heathrow Airport stop here.  With so many buses stopping in this area it is always busy with commuters and tourist, as you can see in this photo. It is right out the front of Queen College, which I think maybe a little annoying for those attending Queen's?

Queen's College Oxford

Queen's College was the Oxford college that Rowan Atkinson's attend while he was studying in Oxford. It is on the High Street in Oxford, and a number of busy High Street bus stops are along its High Street side. There is a small lane that runs down the side of Queen's College, Queen's Lane that leads to the Bridge of Sighs. This lane has no traffic and is a nicer way to get into the City centre if you are travelling by foot or bike from the High Street.

Old Routemaster Bus In Oxford High Street

Oh, this was nice to see today out the front of Queen College, an Old Red Routemaster. I am not sure that Oxford ever had these British icon's in general service, would be interested to find out from anyone who remembers seeing them on the High Street. This one was looking very well restored and was being used to transport guests to a wedding, what a great idea.

Empty High Street

This morning the High Street in Oxford was empty, not very often you see the High Street empty, however as today is a public holiday in the UK, not alot of people are up and aboutearly in the morning. This photo is looking up the High Street towards Carfax, with Queens College on the right and University College on the left, with the tower of University Church in the centre where yesterdays photo was taken.
