Title: SWR w/e 6 April 2024 Exeter to Southampton service Post by: bradshaw on April 06, 2024, 10:45:14 SWR are running an Exeter to Southampton service today due to engineering works east of Salisbury. Change at Southampton for Waterloo. Seems a good idea saving rail replacement bus journey
Tomorrow, Sunday, Waterloo to Exeter direct through service via Southampton https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:CKN/2024-04-06/0200-0159?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt Title: Re: SWR w/e 6 April 2024 Exeter to Southampton service Post by: JayMac on April 06, 2024, 11:15:20 It's perfect for those of us with dogs who may, or may not, be allowed aboard RRBs.
I'm just about to depart Southampton, having arrived on the direct service from Templecombe. Heading to Reading with CrossCountry.

And not a huge difference in price either. Wonder if they sell many of these via Southampton fares? After all the service via Andover is very good.https://shorturl.at/hqzA5 This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
