check bus stop local_ref on the ground. I think the "E" is from it being east-bound, and may be misleading. Makes you think it's part of the St Clements Street stop area's A, B and C.

Check bus stop local_refs on the ground for this one, plus the 2 down Cowley Road and also the 2 down Iffley Road named "The Plain". Do they have any real local area reference numbers on them? Those are the numbers or letters shown on that pole-top lollipop as seen at the big stop areas like Headington/Westgate/the JR.

This one won't, probably. It's only used by tour buses, and it perhaps doesn't even have a real sign or markings. NaPTAN knows about it though, and it's a part of the tourist bus route. It's a bit difficult to tell what's physically present while the Waynflete Annexe redevelopment boards and scaffolding are up, however.

The two on Cowley Road and Iffley Road just might have real local_refs.

X5 Bedford→Oxford bus route in both directions is broken here, presumably due to the road works.

https://bustimes.org/services/x5-bedford-milton-keynes seems to show the alternative route they're using right now.

It needs to be verified whether this restaurant is still in operation. According to the FHRS, the last inspection was in March 2025. The most recent Instagram post and photo are also dated March 2025. The restaurant does not have a website and cannot be found on any other maps.

Is this store still here? (Website is redirecting to a different one.)

Stops from NaPTAN that may not be in use. Tag with physically_present=no if not actually there any more.

Is this bus stop and the one outside Bradlands still physically present?
