I meant more because it's slightly more uphill back to Botley. I cycled both directions from the station when we were over for the Ox-Cam ride and staying with Chris. I know what you mean about the push button! Why on earth can't they have a detection loop? And like actually do something when it's activated.
Stick a video camera on the balcony instead and report them if it happens again? Hard to recognise yoofs though I guess.
I suspect they'd just nick the video camera... :-( I'll have a think though & see if I can set up some kind of cheap webcam. And then invoice the Vale of White Horse for provision of CCTV services. 8-)
Didn't think it was much uphill back to Botley -- I'll pay more attention tonight!
If you mean the one opposite the McDonalds there is a loop, but the button is more reliable. And in my experience pressing the button will give you a green just before the cars to your right will get their next green. Being too impatient to wait for one cycle of the lights seems a little MTV generation.
And yes, I would say that from Osney to Elms parade is flat. After Elms parade you start getting hill.
