It is also only about a 10-15 minute walk to the centre of Oxford (and cashpoints) from the pub (and about 2 minutes further to get to Gamestation - not much great retro-y stuff in there, although they did have House of the Dead for the Saturn there on Saturday...)

buses back to Thornhill after 8pm on Saturday are 'express' ones
I think that's referring to the buses that go to London from Oxford (Oxford Tube etc.).

They all stop at Thornhill park and ride and run all night.
Ah, right, thanks. :)

Right, can anyone help me out vis a vis which train station to end my journey at? Need to know the closest one to the venue and any possible ways to make it to said venue from there.

Destination OXFORD .... walk thru main station, then down steps, look right and see No.5 Bus (destination Blackbird Leys) ... ask for St. Clements. 10 minutes ride, as soon as you go around a roundabout hit the bell to stop.

Right, get off bus, walk back and thru any street on your right, once on next road, look for Port Mahon, directy opposite Thai Orchid.

Thanks! Might get a taxi from the station to remove the "betamax duh factor" though. :D
