Title: Cotswold Line easement? Post by: dzug on December 09, 2014, 09:04:38 Looking at the FGW booking site and one or two other sites it seems that the easement to use offpeak tickets/senior railcards on the 0728 Worcester Foregate Street to Paddington is no more.
However on the National Rail site it's still there. And Virgin What is the situation in the real world? Title: Re: Cotswold Line easement? Post by: JayMac on December 09, 2014, 10:09:15 It would appear that FGW's booking engine is not applying the easement for Senior Railcards in the Network Area on this fare.
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/ticket_types/64097.aspx Although that says (on Anytime fares) it should apply to the Off Peak Return (via Evesham) also. The discount is being applied correctly on FGW's booking engine to HM Forces Railcard, but not the Senior or Family. Suggest you contact FGW to ask what's going on. In the meantime, buy from a booking engine that is applying the discount correctly. I note that SWT's is giving the correct fare with a Senior Railcard. Title: Re: Cotswold Line easement?

I normally buy on the train so don't book ahead - but it's as well to know what to expect This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
