This is just a gentle reminder about our upcoming trip to Lydney this coming Saturday.

Saturday 21st June:  Trip to Lydney in order to celebrate the new hourly Transport for Wales (TfW▸ (Transport for Wales)) service .  We will catch a train from Temple Meads to Lydney, spend some quality time around there - before returning to Bristol in the afternoon.
Suggested trains:  Outwards: Bristol Temple Meads 09.28 to Lydney at 10.53, with  1 change at Severn Tunnel Junction
                                Return:       Lydney 16.08 to Temple Meads 17.17 or Lydney 17.08 to Temple Meads 18.17, with 1 change at Severn Tunnel Junction.
                                Cost:           Peak Day return   £19.10 or £12.70 with Railcard.

From the station you can walk down to the quay in Lydney Harbour - with its cafe, lovely views and its renowned standing stones.  There is the Cross Keys Inn in Lydney for lunch or , if you want, you can splash out by going on the Dean Forest Steam Railway to Parkend (with an advance price of £17.50 or £9.00 for under-18s) where you can have lunch at the Fountain Inn.  More information on this railway experience can be found at https://deanforestrailway.co.uk/.

High tide at Lydney Pier is around 5 pm and the tide rushes up dramatically in the two hours before; low tide is at about 11 am so plenty of time to observe the mud flats!

All good - provided the Severn Tunnel is actually reopened by then.  Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
