Never been to Brackley, but it cant be any worse than Walking on yer knees, plus it will be a perfect place for you to stay on the weekends when WSB/Motogp are at Silverstone Chris (like you hadnt already thought of that) ;)  :)

you need a car, bus service is not great, they go around all the villages so takes 1 hour to do something that takes 10 mins in the car.

Good road links, A43 is dual carriage way all the way now, makes for good progress (except F1 weekend) just don't go silverstone direction!

The proposed hi-speed2 link, passes right next to Brackley, along the old Great Central Line (Brackley had 3 train stations pre beaching era, now has none!)

Would be nice if they put a station on for that link, but can't see that happening.

Could affect prices to East of Brackley, if that gets go-ahead. (but thats very long term 15 years+)

I'll think you'll find that Friday on the A43, the MV6 was going nicely, until it all went wrong.  And earlier today on the A12 when calibrating the LPG (I'm sure you know which test ;)), it was going well (despite being front multiram-less) until we all decided that it really didn't sound good, and Kevin Wood, who was in charge of the diagnostics/monitoring, did suggest we promptly abort that test ::)

Mine survived the calibration tests  :P :P

Glad its all sorted  :y

Mine could do with a re-calibration in the next few days, recently not noticed any hesitation at high rpm. Also just rotated the tank again, hope to get 70-75L in now

Sorry to jump in here, but when you said " I'm still technically barred...." it reminded me that when I was a lot younger, went in the Chequered Flag witha few racing mates (bikes) and got a bit "out of hand" with a few mickey taking locals who thought we were "southern softies", unfortunately after proving we were not, got us ALL asked to leave and barred.
Wonder if its still the same landlord??

Sorry, just laughing to myself thinking about it now........

Ownership (or stewardship at least) has changed hands a few times since I've been here...
