Tour of Britain cycle race

 On Saturday September 9th, cyclists will be racing past our railway resulting in road closures etc.
 The information I have is as follows:
 TODDINGTON
At about 13:45 the Stow Road from the Toddington roundabout will be closed so there will be no entry or exit from the station.
Cyclists will ride though from 14:18 until about 15:00 when the road will be re-opened.
 WINCHCOMBE
At about 14:00 the road outside the station entrance will be closed so there will be no entry or exit from the station entrance.
Cyclists will ride through from 14:31 until about 15:10 and the road will be re-opened about 5 minutes later
 CHELTENHAM RACECOURSE
At about 14:20 the A 435 will be closed into town and there will be no entry or exit from the racecourse roundabout

Cyclists will ride through from 14:51 until 15:32 when progressively the road will be re-opened.

    So a good day to come to the railway with free parking and you can go and watch the tour at the same time? Graham

    How about running a special train parallel to the race? The road they would be using crosses the line in a couple of places doesn't it?

      Unfortunately we already have a full timetable in place for that day and can't alter it
