Transport links within the Cotswolds improved

Two improvements to the transport service in the Cotswolds were recently announced:

Firstly, the Cotswold rail line will be redoubled over 20 miles, reversing changes made in 1971 when the line carried less traffic. As part of this project Charlbury station will get a new platform and a revamped footbridge. These changes should result in better access to the Cotswolds from Worcester in the west and Oxford and London in the south east.

Secondly, there is a new bus stop at Moreton-in-Marsh railway station, taking passengers to Bourton, Stratford and Cirencester. Previously, travellers had to walk into town to catch a bus for their onward journey to other parts of the Cotswolds. This service will make it easier for walkers to get to their accommodation on their outward journey and to get back to the station when returning home.

Best Wishes
