Title: Re: If I tell you the fare, can you tell me the destination. Post by: grahame on July 30, 2015, 16:57:45 Upwey ;D Wishing ... well ... you are probably right, but not the answer I had. Passengers from Salisbury and Bedwyn should be advised to buy split tickets. Agreed, save that we're not marketing it from those stations.

Title: Re: If I tell you the fare, can you tell me the destination. Post by: grahame on July 30, 2015, 21:16:23 Weymouth. ::) ;D Indeed ... And you'll note that the lowest fares are from the furthest distance. I just loves the fare system! Title: Re: If I tell you the fare, can you tell me the destination.

Title: Re: If I tell you the fare, can you tell me the destination. Post by: JayMac on July 30, 2015, 22:01:35 I just loves the fare system! 'System' implies some thought, organisation and logic. None of those apply to rail fare pricing in the UK. Title: Re: If I tell you the fare, can you tell me the destination. Post by: tomL on July 31, 2015, 01:30:07 Upwey was a clue! Was also thanks to Twitter who thought it was important to show me the conversation between Grahame and FGW Twitter team earlier today. ::) ;D Title: Re: If I tell you the fare, can you tell me the destination.

Was also thanks to Twitter who thought it was important to show me the conversation between Grahame and FGW Twitter team earlier today. ::) ;D Ah yes ... I was sanity checking a higher fare for Trowbridge - Weymouth than for Swindon - Trowbridge - Weymouth. Title: Re: If I tell you the fare, can you tell me the destination. Post by: ellendune on July 31, 2015, 07:53:09 Since it is not an advance fare, if I turn up at Trowbridge I could ask for a Swindon to Weymouth ticket and use it from Trowbridge. In that case surely the TOC should sell me the cheapest ticket which would be the Swindon one?
