Bus to Stratford

Thanks Richard.  Historical note (from one who grew up in S-on-A) - the 'second' bridge at Stratford is called the Tramway Bridge as it once carried a tramline between Stratford and Moreton in the days when there were 2 canal basins in Stratford and the Avon was used to transport goods from (I assume) Worcester, with the canal going on to Birmingham.  Apart from the canal, the former Cox's timber yard between the 2 bridges is about the last relic from those days.  I expect a lot of businesses there are suffering just now so do go!

For anyone who fancies a day out in Stratford, I see that Pulhams will be running a new bus from Moreton-in-Marsh railway station, which (roughly) connects with the trains.

So you can leave Charlbury at 9, get to Stratford for 10.30, enjoy the day there, then catch the bus at 16.20 to be back home for 6.
