Been to the festival a few times, but this year going by train for first time ( Tuesday only- think its best day to go )Couple of questions: How far is it to the course from station.... is it walkable or best to just jump in taxi ?AlsThe train station at the racecourse car park is at the south end of one of those "un-networked" lines with old steam trains only - it doesn't currently connect with any other train lines. Had a look the other day - £55 return for what must be a 10 mhttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/29771151/train-station-to-course?post_id=529066081#529066081The train station at the racecourse car park is at the south end of one of those "un-networked" lines with old steam trains only - it doesn't currently connect with any other train lines.
