Title: Group Save from Thatcham to Swindon Saturday 3rd October Post by: BerkshireBugsy on September 28, 2015, 22:04:44 Hi All, I need to take 2 adults and myself to Swindon on the above day.
What's the cheapest way of doing this? Is Group Save an option or is that out because some services may be crammed full due to the rugby?

Check with GWR.

Sound advice Title: Re: Group Save from Thatcham to Swindon Saturday 3rd October Post by: grahame on September 29, 2015, 09:10:18 GroupSave being offered online ... and if you have any fear that might be a mistake, buy there and print out the agenda / schedule to carry with you. And I couldn't find any splits or overruns that would reduce the cost ... which in an ideal world is really how the fare system should work.
