Sam.
If it was me i would try Birmingham i know the trains will be packed but they are plenty of them and you are only on for 50 mins.
Where ever you stay enjoy.

Ronnie.

Thanks Ronnie, much appreciated. Hope you are well.

Sam.
Always try to help  very well thank you looking forward to 3 nights in Cheltenham next week.
Hope you are well.
Ronnie.

The trains leave BIRMINGHAM NEW STREET at 12 minutes and 30 minutes past the hour, every hour (usually from platform 7 or 11)
As ronnie rails says, they will be packed but there are plenty of courtesy buses from the railway station to the course.

Do not play cards with strangers!

Worcester would be where I would suggest a good town with some decent bars restaurants without the hassle of a big city ,direct train to Cheltenham and if you were to get carried away in Cheltenham missing the last train a taxi isn’t the end of the world.

Longtime since you have posted on here hope you are well.
Will you be in Benidorm again for the festival.
Merry xmas will pop and say hello in May.
Ronnie.

Good morning ronnie hope your well

I’m fine thanks regarding Benidorm that was a one off after over 40 years at the festival I just fancied a change ,whilst I wouldn’t put anyone off giving it a chance it wasn’t really for me.

Merry Christmas to you and a safe and healthy new year see you in may if not before.

did stroud one year , station hotel, walk across the road for the train, book early

Saxon Farm - where are the courtesy buses?  I've always paid for the shuttle buses.

Irish the Railway Hotel you stayed in is now surprise surprise a Wetherspoons.

Not sure whether that has improved the site but from memory in its latter life The Railway was a right fecking dive - and that's being polite

Apologies, you are correct. There is a small charge for the shuttle buses.

Thanks SF - thought I was missing out on a freebie!!
Need every penny I can keep for the festival.
