Richard What is available on the national NextBuses service for Oxfordshire is scheduled departure times - as it is for all stops nationwide.
The Oxontimes site provides real-time information where it is available ... and I think it offers scheduled times where real-time info is not available. But it also has another quirk - a bus which is not offering real-time information on a route which should be doing so (as a result of a technical failure, perhaps) is not being reported on Oxontimes, as I understand it. I think this is the only realtime system in the UK that has taken this view - everyone else shows scheduled times for buses which, for whatever reason, are unable to provide realtime information. C'est la vie!

Oxford info _is_ available on the national service. And via Google Maps. The Oxontime site seems a bit less clunky to me (except the maps), having just tried all three, but each to his own.
