Plenty of candidates travel to a neighbouring centre to find a route that suits them better.
The headline spread within Oxfordshire sits between Oxford (Kassam Stadium) (64.8%) at the top of the league and Banbury (39.9%) at the bottom, a gap of 24.9 percentage points. Spreads of 10 to 15 percentage points within a single county are common, the route a centre uses matters far more than the county boundary.
