If, for example, you decide to take a taxi from Heathrow Airport to Wallingford, the meter will not be used and you MUST agree a price before the journey starts. The cost of a train ticket will depend on the day and time of travel. It is usually cheaper to obtain a return ticket than two singles, but you will need to check if there are any restrictions on the validity of the ticket. There is a good network of national buses between the major towns and cities, but the frequency of buses usually drops dramatically if you are looking at local routes. The Tourist Information Centres will be able to supply details of local bus times, or the telephone numbers of the bus company's enquiry offices.
Return tickets are usually cheaper than two singles.
