Discounted admission to this annual one-day agricultural and horse show is available to people holding rail tickets valid for travel to Moreton-in-Marsh on September 3, when presented at the gate at the showground, which is in Batsford Road, a short walk across the Fosse Way from the station.

Arrive early and you can combine an outing with a bit of Deltic-spotting http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=9242.0 - this train should be at Moreton 9.10ish based on an 08.25 departure from Worcester.

FGW (First Great Western), Network Rail and the CLPG» (Cotswold Line Promotion Group - about) will have adjacent stands.

For more show details, see http://www.moretonshow.co.uk/index.php

Thank-you for that heads up, willc.  Wink

My diary is filling up with various rail related days out in the coming months. So many things to do, so little disposable income.  Sad

The opportunity to see a bit of opposed-piston Napier Deltic action is most tempting...

Deltic-spotting is out of the window due to the special train now working the other way up the line in the evening.

For more on discounted show entry for rail ticket holders and special stops (and fares) at Ascott-under-Wychwood for people going to the show, see www.clpg.co.uk
