Last week it was trains and planes during the finale of the Cotswold Festival of Steam.  This week it's cars and planes as the GWR runs its first Transport Nostalgia Day of the season (there are two more later in the year). The event is at Winchcombe station but because the car park will be full of vintage and classic cars and commercial vehicles of every shape and size, you won't be able to park there!  You'll need to go by train from either Cheltenham Race Course station (the station is within the grounds of the racecourse.  Follow the Racecourse signs and then follow the spine road to the end where you'll find the GWR's station) or from Toddington (10 miles from Junction 10 of the M5, on the Stowe road, B4077). A full round trip ticket allows you to enjoy as many trips as you like on the day of issue, and you can alight at Winchcombe, enjoy the vehicles on display and continue your journey at a later time.

Refreshments will be available at Winchcombe, as well as at the Flag & Whistle tearooms at Toddington and of course on the trains (try a glass of our locally-brewed Rail Ale or if you are on the chocolate and cream coloured coaches, a range of freshly cooked snacks as well). There are pubs close to both Toddington and Winchcombe stations, too.
