Saturday 27 February 2016 (1035) - City of Oxford 314 (HP11 OXF), an Alexander Dennis (ADL) Enviro bodied Trident new in June 2011, seen in Magdalen Street East, Oxford. It was working the Pear Tree Park and Ride service. Until October 2015 service 300 linked the two Park and Ride sites of Pear Tree (to the north of the city) with Redbridge (to the south). This provided a cross city link. However, the two links are currently severed due to major roadworks taking place near Pear Tree that were disrupting timekeeping.
