That's very odd, I was simply repeating what an American visitor from
California told me about 3 years ago, I think, when I asked him how he got to
Stoneleigh and he told me "I just got a train to Kenilworth, and a taxi from
there". Hmmm, as I say very odd, perhaps he was mistaken and meant somewhere
else? probably Leamington!!!
As the majority of Triumph enthusiasts arrive at Stoneleigh by car, including
me, it's not something that I have investigated in detail, but as you are
certainly a 'local', I bow to your more accurate knowledge and apologise to
all concerned.
I assume that Kenilworth railway station fell under the beeching axe along wi
th so much else of our now dreadful railway system.
Happy New Year!
I assume that Fred could rent a car in Coventry more easily than Leamington?
or, perhaps there is someone local on the list, willing to collect him and
take him to the show?
