In order to get to Bourton-on-the-water on May 3rd I am trying to buy online the tickets for transportation from Bath. I checked the options all these days and everything seemed ok... but suddenly nothing is available because of the bank holiday exactly on the day I wanted. I am using the site www.transportdirect.info to search and there is nothing available for that day from Bath to Bourton. But on the other hand the train tickets for some part of that itinerary are normally sold in the website of National Rail... very confusing indeed! I am sending lots of emails to every train company to enquiry about this but didn't get any reply yet. So far, the closest points to Bourton I can get to are Kemble or Cheltenham, by train. Since I am not familiar with bus companies in the area I can search no further. I would appreciate if someone knows or can find out some accurate information about this matter (public transport services alterations), or at least how to get from Kemble or Cheltenham (or some other point) to Bourton. I really don't want to miss my so-wanted visit to the Costwolds. Thanks, Ricardo |

The bus/coach companies should be ok though and you'll probly meet nicer people to chat to. Have a good trip.  |
