PARKING is free at Stratford Park and Ride in August. The buses operate Monday to Saturday from 7.30am with the last bus returning from the town centre at 7.30pm. The Park and Ride buses run every 15 minutes for most of each day, and the journey from the car park in Bishopton Lane into the town centre takes approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Warwickshire County Council’s transport spokesperson Coun Stephen Shaw said: “We are excited to offer free parking at Stratford Park and Ride this summer. “This year, we aim to make it even easier for people to explore the town while supporting a reduction in traffic congestion in the town centre.”
