The first passenger to use an improved bus service connecting Oxford Science Park to the city centre was given a bottle of Champagne.

Alison Phillips was the first to use the new bus, which runs every half hour from St Aldate's to the science park, and hourly from Oxford Railway Station.
Mrs Chapman said: "We now have over 1,000 people working on the park and we recognise the need for visitors and for tenants to have a regular bus service between the park, the city centre and the railway station."
The new service stops at Iffley Road, Littlemore and Sandford before arriving outside the Magdalen Centre on the science park.
It is being run by Thames Travel and is subsidised by the science park.
