Fairford Station

Situated a mile from the town, Fairford Station was never the most convenient station for is customers, but it was never designed to be the terminus of the line, merely another way-station on the route from Cheltenham to Oxford. Faced with a mile long walk along the A417, or a shorter route through footpaths, it was hardly suprising the bus stop in the middle of town became a more tempting proposition. The buses also ran to useful places like Cheltenham and Swindon, rather than an hours journey to Oxford.
