TRAIN operator First Great Western is making the going easy for people visiting the Moreton-in-Marsh Show in September.

People arriving by rail at Moreton station from 8.55am to 2.05pm on Saturday, September 1, will be able to buy discounted admission tickets for the agricultural show, on production of a valid rail ticket.

Adults will pay £9, instead of £12, and children £3, instead of £5. The showground, in Batsford Road, is a five-minute walk from the station.

To encourage visitors to avoid traffic jams in the town on the Oxfordshire-Gloucestershire boundary, FGW is also making car parking at Charlbury and Kingham stations free on the day of the show.
