Title: Saver Returns no longer valid - London to Hereford 17.21 and 17.51 Post by: Bill B on December 11, 2007, 17:03:45 The London to Moreton-in-Marsh Saver Return is no longer available on these services. The fare has jumped from ^19.15 to ^60 return.

An example that has hit me and my customers very hard last December was the service amendments on the TransWilts which not only took away useful trains, but also increased the price of a day trip from Melksham to London, purchased on the day, from 48 pounds to 105 pounds. That's only a two-fold rise rather that the three-fold you're reporting ...

You need to read up then!Title: Re: Saver Returns no longer valid - London to Hereford 17.21 and 17.51 Post by: Ollie on December 11, 2007, 20:04:11 As far as I'm aware the restriction hasn't actually changed for your chosen route.
