According to the timetable at http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/Content.aspx?id=378 for the period 10 December to 19 May 07 there are weekday departures from Heyford to Oxford at 0658, 0739, 0952, 1252, 1517, 1736, 1850, 2019, 2149 and 0004, with return trips at 0555, 0640, 0853, 1155, 1322, 1622, 1742, 1914, 2052, 2256. So there is a basic commuter service, but I would agree with Mike that its pretty sparse in the daytime. Alternatively there is the 25A bus operated by RH travel every 2 hours.
