Title: London to Cornwall Sale Post by: PhilWakely on October 08, 2015, 18:29:58 I've just received the following email...
From gwr.com (https://www.gwr.com/explore-the-west/london-to-cornwall-sale?utm_source=leisure_Customer&utm_medium=email&utm_term=BookNow%20&utm_content=83765&utm_campaign=19poundfares) Quote London to Cornwall sale Travel between London and Cornwall for just ^19 each way. Sale ends 15 October. With over 40,000 seats available for just ^19 each way, there^s never been a better time to visit the beautiful West or vibrant London. So whether you want to explore Cornwall^s dramatic coastline, Devon^s picturesque towns or visit some of London^s most iconic landmarks, you can now do it for less. Offer is valid for travel in either direction to and from selected stations between London Paddington and Penzance. Exclusions apply ^ refer to the full list of available routes. Tickets are on sale now until 15 October 2015 for travel between 1 November and 14 December 2015. Tickets can only be bought from GWR.com or GWR ticket offices. But once they^re gone, they^re gone ^ so get in early to avoid disappointment. Sounds good, but already nothing available in mid-week for the day tripper! I've been through every weekday that the sale is supposed to be running and this is the result for Exeter. Plymouth even worse!

I think they omitted the rather essential word 'from'! Out of idle curiosity, I had a look at EXD-PAD on (randomly selected) 25th November and there are a fair few trains where ^18.50 single tickets are available, so wonder why ^19 tickets are so exceptional?! Title: Re: London to Cornwall Sale Post by: ChrisB on October 08, 2015, 18:52:01 'Cornwall' might be the clue here?
Title: Re: London to Cornwall Sale Post by: chrisr_75 on October 08, 2015, 18:58:58 Good point! Explains a lot!
I was thrown by the reference to Exeter in the original post...! Title: Re: London to Cornwall Sale Post by: PhilWakely on October 08, 2015, 19:11:26 The T&Cs clearly state Devon and Cornwall and the list of valid stations include Exeter ao one would expect a reasonable offering.
I was in a hurry! The ^57 is actally for 3 people Title: Re: London to Cornwall Sale Post by: Surrey 455 on October 08, 2015, 21:18:53 I was in a hurry! The ^57 is actally for 3 people Ahh, I did that a few years ago. Can't remember where we were going but I think we caught NatEx instead which seemed cheaper. I only afterwards realized the quote for the train was the total fare for everyone travelling. I also can't remember if we saved any money by going by coach, but seeing as most of my coach journeys were from Heathrow Airport then probably not.
