This page helps you get to the three GWR main stations using
public transport. As always, you are advised to check with the
transport operator before planning your journey.
Cheltenham Race Course
The nearest mainline railway station to the GWR is
Cheltenham Spa. Stagecoach service D operates every 10 minutes from
Monday to Saturday from the forecourt of Cheltenham Spa railway
station, running to Cheltenham Race Course Park &
Ride.
The Park & Ride is about a half a mile walk to the GWR Race
Course station. The walk is along the race course internal road,
and is sign-posted. Our booking office is at road level, whilst the
platforms and main station buildings are reached by a slope.
Visitors who prefer not to walk are advised to either use a taxi or
to use Winchcombe or Toddington station instead.
On Sundays and Bank Holidays, Stagecoach service D operates
half-hourly from Cheltenham Spa railway Station to the top of
Evesham Road on its way to Bishops Cleeve and beyond. Passengers
are advised to ask the driver to set them down at the stop nearest
to the entrance of the Race Course. They should check the location
of the stop back into town, on the Evesham Road.
Winchcombe
Winchcombe Station is situated in the village of Greet and is
served by Castleways Monday to Saturdays. The buses depart from the
Royal Well bus station, Cheltenham Spa. Passengers should get off
at Harvest Home Public House in Greet or Becketts Lane stop, and
walk back to Winchcombe Station, approximately 3 minutes away.
Toddington
Toddington is served by the Castleways service from the Royal
Well bus station, Cheltenham Spa, Mondays to Saturdays. There are
about four buses a day to Toddington.
