£32M Park & Ride: TWO YEARS of Delays – Is This a SCANDAL?

£32M Park & Ride: TWO YEARS of Delays – Is This a SCANDAL?

A brand new park and ride facility stands poised to ease congestion near Oxford, yet remains eerily inaccessible. Completed construction sits silent, a testament to a frustrating logistical snag – the roads leading to it simply aren't connected.

A mothballed ??51m park and ride - currently due to open in 2027 - will stand empty until then after other proposed uses were turned down by a council. The 850-space Eynsham site was completed in 2024 but a planning application to connect it to the nearby A40 was only submitted in July because of cost issues. Oxfordshire County Council said the park and ride was finished on time and on budget because of a ring-fenced grant but "cost pressures caused by high inflation" temporarily halted the rest of the A40 improvements scheme.
