Transport

A Puy du Fou attractions’ traffic generally occur outside peak travel times, particularly school holidays and weekends. At these times there is more capacity on the rail and road network. As Puy du Fou adapt its show programs according the attendance,  demand will be focused when there is significantly more capacity.

Access

The new destination will be accessed from the B4100 via appropriately-sized junctions with dedicated onsite parking. A public transport hub will be delivered onsite as well as dedicated pedestrian and cycle access points.

Connectivity

The proposed site enjoys exceptional connections to Oxfordshire and the rest of the country. It is close to Bicester and Banbury and local heritage attractions, adjacent to a junction of the M40 motorway, and 8 minutes from the Bicester North train station with a dedicated bus service providing a direct shuttle service. Rail capacity into Bicester is set to be expanded with the delivery of East West Rail.

Reducing Private Car Use

Our target is for less than 50% of visitors to arrive by car by connecting to existing public transport amenities and providing shuttle services to nearby transport hubs (train stations and park and ride), local attractions and retail centres.

A detailed Transport Assessment will support the planning application which will include various measures, such as:

  • Creating promotional ticket options, making sustainable travel options cheaper than arriving by car

  • New and improved local bus services

  • Walking and cycling improvements

  • Delivery of onsite hotels and accommodation including spaces for campervans, all of which will reduce trips to the site in the peak hours

  • Coach parking

  • A travel plan and car sharing / shuttle buses for staff

  • Development of linked-trips with existing attractions in the area

Construction Traffic

A construction management plan will be a legal requirement of any planning consent. This will set out the appropriate routing for construction traffic, mostly routed via the M40 and A43 minimising the construction traffic on local roads.
