Title: Summer days out from Melksham - Freedom of Severn and Solent Post by: grahame on July 30, 2023, 13:19:12 I'm writing at http://grahamellis.uk/blog941.html
linking to pages like http://gwr.passenger.chat/foss1.html which I'll be promoting Quote Are you around Melksham in August? Looking for some days out with the children? The "Freedom of Severn and Solent" railway ticket lets you take 3 days in 7, or 8 days in 15, travelling as far as Portsmouth, Cardiff, Worcester, Tiverton, and Axminster - seaside at Poole, Bournemouth, Weymouth and Weston-super-mare - all at a price of £12.20 per person per day. And there's a third off that for railcard holders, and children are half price. You can get "Friends and Family" discounts too. Please let me know of any errors - note I still need to be adding a one-liner about many of the places (http://www.wellho.net/pix/foss_tickmap.jpg) Title: Re: Summer days out from Melksham - Freedom of Severn and Solent Post by: grahame on July 30, 2023, 21:16:11 Starting here ... http://www.passenger.chat/foss1.html

I've update the "days out" page I posted last year at http://www.passenger.chat/foss.html to report on the 2024 prices with a different suggestion each day.
(http://www.wellho.net/pix/fossprice.jpg) Suggestions on the page ... Tiverton Parkway Severn Beach Sherborne Oldfield Park Dorchester West Salisbury Southampton Central Stroud Bournemouth Swindon (Wilts) Mottisfont & Dunbridge Weymouth Clifton Down Portsmouth Harbour Cardiff Central Axminster Brockenhurst Frome Warminster Weston-Super-Mare Bristol Temple Meads Cheltenham Spa Poole Romsey Worcester Foregate Street Yeovil Pen Mill Gloucester Great Malvern Lymington Pier Taunton Hamble Missing from that list is Melksham. It's missing because this is a page looking to remind people they can make day trips to all the places above from Melksham - buying the trips in bundles of 3 or 8 for as little as £15 pounds a day, or £10 for railcard holders. Title: Re: Summer days out from Melksham - Freedom of Severn and Solent Post by: Chris from Nailsea on July 14, 2024, 16:02:52 I would like to add Yatton to that list.
Strawberry Line cafe at the station itself, cycle hire, footpath / cycleway to Congresbury along the old trackbed, then more footpath / cycleway to Axbridge (through Shute Shelve Tunnel) and Cheddar. That can be a day out in itself, with the many scenic diversions along that route. ;D Title: Re: Summer days out from Melksham - Freedom of Severn and Solent Post by: CyclingSid on July 15, 2024, 07:07:30 Brockenhurst to Lymington Town was busy on Saturday for the Lymington Seafood Festival. Passed myself, but cycled round to Keyhave instead, and the good lady raided the Saturday street market.
