Thames Travel[1] is a bus operator serving the southern part of the English county of Oxfordshire.

It is based in Didcot and is a subsidiary of the Go-Ahead Group's Oxford Bus Company operation alongside both Carousel Buses of Buckinghamshire & Pulham's Coaches of Gloucestershire, having been purchased as a 35-vehicle independent operator by group in May 2011.

It has branded the three routes "River Rapids" and applied prominent graphics to its dedicated fleet to promote it.
