I've been looking at flying out from a London airport (any of them) on the 4th and 14th of July, arriving at the airport late morning. A week ago when I first looked there were decently priced advances from Stroud / Gloucester / Cheltenham to Stansted, Gatwick and Luton. When I look now, these...

This is correct for Curve, although I don't think I've used mine to collect a ticket.

I once tried to do a day bashing in London with an Oyster. 3 maximum fares later, I vowed never to try it again.

I believe it's going to be called Stroudwater (or that's proposed by the council) after the business park being constructed next to it. (Confusingly, it is the other side of Stonehouse from Stroud).
