Just noticing that from what recent postings say, you have quite a long walk every time you disembark in the Cheltenham area, not like in other towns where there are easy bus connections.

Cheltenham is one of those places where regional and local services are at different ends of the town. Regional services (i.e. Gloucester/Swindon/Stroud) depart from the Promenade; local services depart from the High Street. All are within comfortable walking distance however.

We take the ten minute walk to Bourneside School and take the 13.07 Swanbrook Coaches service K alighting at Benhall, Granley Road at 13.24 on Saturday.
