Facebook quoted above says Saturday and Sunday; web site says just Saturday. Anyone know? Sadly, the railbus not arriving by rail ... but as a bonus the old station building will be open

I wondered if I could get there ... finishing a meet up at Postern Hill, Savernake, at around 12:00. By car, 35 minutes according to Google. By public transport, hourly connections ... 12:30 departure from Postern Hill gets me to Cirencester at 14:55 - classic example of public transport not working out.

Thank you - I have just negotiated an extra day out (for Sunday) and will see if I can work out Sunday busses.
