Just a couple of typos to mention. I presume you meant "can't see the screen" when talking about penalty fares? Also close by there's a reference to shorted journeys, when it should be shorter.
Maybe Bath Spa merits a mention too?

Typos noted and to be fixed - thanks. Bath is easily reachable from Melksham by direct bus - one of the few routes that runs evenings and Sundays too; I would rather people use that than push the to the train for that particular trip. Good thought though ... |

Just noticed one more typo: individual advise on ticketing should be individual advice on ticketing advise = verb; advice = noun. Well, you did invite . . .  |

Should you put information about changes for Destinations like Oxford (2?), London and Bristol etc.?

Reply still think you should put change information against individual destinations where applicable. People may not know a station is beyond Westbury Swindon etc. Also aren't there different fares for via Trowbridge and via Chippenham to Bath and Bristol?
For the future bimodes make the Bradford North Curve look more viable with diesel Chippenham Bath. You could then have an hourly (1/2 hour peak) stopper running Bristol stations to Swindon, Didcot Reading, Padd. Would give direct trains West from Melksham.

Fares via Trowbridge and Chippenham are - thank goodness - the same. And the text now states that changes are usually needed except for Swindon, Chippenham and Trowbridge. Putting in where changes are was contemplated but gets complicated and longwinded For the future bimodes make the Bradford North Curve look more viable with diesel Chippenham Bath. You could then have an hourly (1/2 hour peak) stopper running Bristol stations to Swindon, Didcot Reading, Padd. Would give direct trains West from Melksham.

Is it right that it is £11.10 return to BRI» , but only £9.30 to CFN▸ ? The CFN ticket will let you through the barrier at BRI, won't it? I often buy a return from SRD (or did - must remember I'm retired) but left the station on the way home at BRI. The gate would accept my ticket, open, and return it to me.
Edit: I've checked, and it's true!

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

The Clifton Down fare is valid from 08:59, but you have to wait until 09:29 to use the Bristol Temple Meads fare. Severn Beach line fares to/from stations beyond the line are all over the place; I seem to recall other instances where they are very expensive. For the purpose of this leaflet, I have stuck with standard fares but then encouraged the use of Groupsave and Railcards, and I have quoted off peak example times for which those tickets are valid.
