Title: A New Year's Eve poser Post by: bobm on December 31, 2012, 20:12:50 I've been wrestling with this throughout the afternoon and need a fresh pair of eyes on it.
Journey from Teignmouth to Aldershot. Out around 11:30 Thurs 3rd Jan. Back around noon on Saturday 5th. With a 16-25 Railcard but need to avoid the 19 min walk between Ash Vale and North Camp. Any ideas gratefully received.

Couldn't help myself... ;D :-X Title: Re: A New Year's Eve poser Post by: old original on December 31, 2012, 21:06:33 without checking all the details, I would suggest Teignmouth - Exeter - Woking - Aldershot

11:38 from Aldershot to Ash arrive 11:45 Also 12:08 getting to Ash at 12:15 but I wouldn't risk it. Then 12:19 from Ash direct to Reading arrive 12:54 You've 34 minutes at Ash but without the walk. Presumably the fares the same. The other way is via Ascot I thought the fare was the same as via Ash but that was the 80's and the fare system was much simpler. Otherwise Guildford Havant Salisbury Exeter might take a long time but could probaly done on a series of quite cheap split Off peak returns.

Taxi? ::) :P Yes, that would be my answer but the 16-25 Railcard gives you a clue. Teenagers and money....... ;D Title: Re: A New Year's Eve poser Post by: Chris from Nailsea on December 31, 2012, 22:09:42 Ah, the quintessential dichotomy for teenagers: fresh air and exercise, or monetary expenditure? ::)
