I got an e-mail from Oxford's Lord Mayor today saying it was "an exciting
idea" and she'd "make enquiries about how we can help", so we may
perhaps be
able to get Oxford's town hall at a very reduced rate, were we to go with an
Oxford bid. I'll keep you informed.

5.1 Coach connections to Oxford
* Central London - Oxford Tube (100 mins) [4], Oxford Espress X90 (100
mins)
[5]
* London Heathrow Airport - The Airline X70 (80-100
mins) [6]
* London Gatwick Airport - The Airline X80 (120-150 mins) [7]
* London Luton Airport - National Express JL737 (110-130 mins) [8]
* London Stansted Airport - National Express JL737 (190 - 230 mins) [9]
And those could probably be reduced, or at least made cheaper and more
convenient, if we hired coaches. We should have sufficient numbers to
warrant say, two coaches from Heathrow and one from Gatwick (that's a
total guess, but I'd expect it to be at least that), and hopefully the
flight times will allow for reasonable timings of coaches.
I'll withdraw my vote for London pending further discussion.
