Title: Bristol on the cheap Post by: chrisoates on February 28, 2014, 22:31:05 Overheard in Penzance.
We're going to Bristol tomorrow by train....we'll buy tickets to Hayle...stay on the train and buy Bristol tickets somewhere near Bristol. A plan so full of holes - do some folk not do 'news' ? No trains from Penzance - rail replacement buses - driver might demand a ticket - ticket office might query why one might want to be bussed to St Erth and then potentially wait an hour to continue to Hayle (5 mins away). Supposing all goes well on arriving at Plymouth - exit station through barriers (ooops) for another rail replacement bus to Exeter - enter EXD through barriers (ooops). Board HST to Westbury (Somerset is shut) - change to Cardiff service to Bristol. A mere 6(ish) hours to get to Bristol plus some time talking to Rail staff.
