Title: Fare cut Post by: willc on January 02, 2009, 13:24:09 And another triumph for the FGW own goals department - aka marketing.
On the day that the all the headlines are all about fare increases, I go to renew my Cotswold Line Railcard and am informed by Moreton's ever-helpful early turn booking clerk Christine that the off-peak fares to Oxford are coming down. A CDR is now ^8 from ^9.80, while the railcard fare falls from ^6.45 to ^5.40. Presume the same applies from elsewhere on the route as well, though peak fares will rise. When will they ever learn?

Good News though... it'll mean not having Advance fares :'( a little bit more to take! Title: Re: Fare cut Post by: devon_metro on January 02, 2009, 17:39:03 There are fare rises at Evesham, Worcester. So it only seems to apply to the southern section of the Cotswolds
