We leave for England in a week and have been there before. We will be spending 4 nights in Moreton-in-Marsh near the train station and are not renting a car, but have a bus tour etc. set up.
We would like to visit Blenheim Palace. In reading RS Best of England and doing some research, it looks like we can take the 9:22 train from Moreton to Oxford for an under 40 minute train ride. When we get off the train in Oxford, we can either pick up a taxi -- is there usually a taxi queue on Saturday? Or walk to the bus station and take the bus to Blenheim Palace. Does this sound accurate?
If we get a taxi at the train station, I believe we could just ask to be taken to Blenheim Palace, but not sure about the estimated cost.
Once at Blenheim Palace, is there a bus that comes thru regularly allowing us to return to Oxford and then return on the evening train to Moreton?
I have communicated with one taxi company that will pick us up in Moreton and drop us at Blenheim and return later in the day and pick us up for 160 pounds. Should we just do this and cut out all the above? Thanks much!
