High Wycombe Coachway
The High Wycombe Coachway is a planned coachway interchange close to junction 4 of the M40 motorway to the west of High Wycombe.[1] Currently some 150 coaches on the Oxford to London coach route pass High Wycombe each day without stopping because it would cause too much delay for other passengers to get into the town centre. The concept is based on the very successful Milton Keynes Coachway next to Junction 14 of the M1 and other coachway interchanges.
