Title: Announcement on the 1830 tonight ....... Was this correct... Post by: Mookiemoo on December 19, 2012, 18:30:46 "This is the very last peak train to the West Country so only anytime tickets are valid."
Now I agree with the validity bit, and I know it's been a while since I bought a ticket, but is it really the last peak train these days?

I'd be a bit surprised if it did. If you define "West Country" as Taunton and beyond, then yes ... fares to Taunton 105.00 on the 18:03 (I assume we mean that rather than the 18:30 which is a Bristol service) 50.50 on the 18:33 39.00 on the 19:03 Title: Re: Announcement on the 1830 tonight .......

Post by: JayMac on December 19, 2012, 23:03:18 The 1830 could well be Off Peak to any number of destinations if you are changing and/or having an overnight break of journey en-route. Most of West Wales, Llanelli and beyond, for example.

Also the 18:03 is Off-peak if travelling to Newton Abbot or beyond.
