Railbus at the platform at the long closed station at Cirencester Town. An exhibition in the rarely-opened station building, its interior under heavy refurbishment, tea, coffee, biscuits. Nothing not to like - just today and Sunday. A timetable on display too. Kemble - Cirencester: 11 minutes.

A rare Railbus built in 1958 which is currently being restored returns to Cirencester station which closed in 1964. 👇 BBC News - Railbus returns to Cirencester 61 years after station closure - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
