It's a bit of a tenuous link between trains and buses, but GWR are currently running an advertising campaign in Cheltenham to promote train travel to the town, and highlighting the tourist attractions. The advertising also includes bus links to and from Cheltenham Railway Station. They have paid for...

Re: £2.00 Fares
Stagecoach West is now taking part in this (except special services like Oxford Tube) but we were embargoed from telling anyone until the Government made their announcement in December. Even then, Stagecoach will not be promoting the offer until after it starts... I get the impression there isn't a ...

Re: £2.00 Fares
Bristol are also taking part in the scheme, but so far no other local authority in the Stagecoach West area have opted in. As far as I can see, nobody seems to have come up with a good exit strategy for this scheme. People will quickly learn to enjoy cheap fares on long distance route and it will be...

Re: Cut-backs in Gloucestershire
Bus and Coach Buyer report that Newport Buses will be operating two routes in Chepstow and Lydney. Correct. Their Service C4 will replace the 761 Chepstow to Beachley route with a slightly altered route, and their Service 72 will replace the Chepstow to Lydney section of the 24. Times are unchanged.

Re: "Reminiscent fleet numbers"
I saw a red Skoda near Chipping Norton today with registration number JHA2... correct colour but quite a bit smaller than an AEC.
