The Cheltenham Open is one of the major Festivals that take place at Cheltenham Racecourse and, once again, special trains will be taking racegoers to the races much as has happened since the racecourse opened in 1912*.  The trains run from Toddington station and on Friday and Saturday, 13th and 14th, Classic Hospitality is running special packages to the The Cheltenham Open races that include train travel.  Tickets on these two days are only obtainable by booking with Classic Hospitality 

However, normal train services will be operating on Sunday 15th to the Blue timetable (suitable departures from Toddington 10.30 and 12.15, returning from Cheltenham at 17.00).  Normal fares also apply.  

*Cheltenham Racecourse station was built to bring both racegoers and equestrian traffic to Prestbury Park, when the racecourse opened in 1912.  It was only ever open for race meetings and the final trains to call there were for the Gold Cup in 1976. The station was reopened in 2003 by HRH The Princess Royal.
