Success on train fare reduction!

Morning Peak Travel restrictions on cheap day return tickets have been lifted by First Great Western on the Stroud to Cheltenham route. The move is aimed at helping to relieve Stroud villages from traffic which has significantly increased due to the A46 closure. Savings of up to £3 can be made.

I first wrote to First Great Western soon after the floods in July and as noted on this blog received a favourable reply in September - however I then heard the offer was not going to be coinsidered after the BBC contacted them. Later after more contact with the County and another email to FGW it seems they have finally responded favourably. See my news release and comments here.
