Visitors to Tewkesbury Medieval Festival

The following roads are a nightmare at the moment. I should know, I've been driving them all day. Rolling Eyes
A40 between Huntly and Glouceter (especially peak time) suggest using M50/M5 when coming from Wales/West. This is ongoing until at least October.
A48 Minsterworth
A417 Birdlip
B4123 Tirley
Just early warning for those of you coming to Tewksbury.

Ashchurch is Tewkesbury's Rail station. There is a regular bus service (41) from there but check 41 here

Cheltenham has more trains but it is a long haul from Railway to Bus, Not too bad from National Express to bus service (41) .
Gloucester Rail and Bus stations are on the opposite sides of 200 yards of road and car park from each other. The best interchange apart from Ashchurch. Currently bus service(?) 71 does not run on Sunday (check 71 here)
Complain here and here but there may be an alternative here.
