Option 2

0658: Oxford (Oxon)
walk: From the centre of Oxford (Oxon) walk for about 2 mins

0700: Oxford City Centre, Turl Street, Stop L1 (on High Street) [SMS: oxfgapmd]
bus: Take Arriva the Shires & Essex Bus 280
towards Aylesbury, Bus Station
and get off at

0754: Haddenham, adj Railway Station (on Station Forecourt)
walk: Walk about 4 mins to

0811: Haddenham & Thame Parkway Rail Station
train: Take Chiltern Railways Train
towards London Marylebone Rail Station
and get off at

0818: Princes Risborough Rail Station
walk: Then transfer to

0838: Princes Risborough Rail Station
train: Take Chiltern Railways Train
towards London Marylebone Rail Station
and get off at

0843: Saunderton Rail Staion
walk: Then walk for about 9 mins to the centre of Saunderton

0852: Saunderton

So a bus and two trains and a fair bit of walking.

Personally, for that kind of distance I’d order a cab. That’d be more expensive but much, much more convenient and faster! There’ll be plenty outside of Oxford train station at that time of the morning. Give yourself plenty of time to allow for the rush hour traffic, which is not pleasant in Oxford.
