Title: Fare challenge - Melksham to Birmingham International, 25.5.2022 Post by: grahame on May 20, 2022, 06:44:53 Subject line says it most, really
For Wednesday of next week, to arrive in Birmingham International around 10 a.m. (an hour either way AOK), return departure between perhaps 4 p.m and 5:30 p.m. - two senior adults, one with a senior railcard, both it enough to change trains easily. Price matters but not 100% ruling "must be cheaper", time spent on travel does not necessarily. Suggested trains (to me) - outbound: MKM 06.36 GWR a Westbury 06.53 CH dep GWR 07.02 via B&H line> a Reading 08.06 CH Dep XC 08.15> Arr BI 09.36 MKM 06.36 GWR d Westbury 06.55 .GWR >arr Southampton 08.07 CH d XC 08.15 via Bas.> Reading d XC 09.13 > arr BI I0.36 .
