Title: Anytime Day Return - Upgrade To First Class
Post by: thetrout on January 14, 2009, 10:44:54
Hi all,

I am making a journey To Frome from Taunton Leaving on the 07:08 Service To Castle Cary & Changing There. I will be purchasing an Anytime Day Return with my Railcard at ^11.20

I Will be returning at some point mid afternoon, probably the 14:09 Direct service.

If I wanted to upgrade the return portion of the ticket only to First Class, how much would that cost me? or would I need to upgrade both portions of the ticket?

Thanks :)

TT

^10 hardly worth it for a 40 minute journey!

As your age shows as 18 I assume the railcard you have is YP.  In which case you cannot not upgrade as YP cannot be used in 1st.  Unless your age is wrong . 

Tell us more information also what day of the week are you going?

Not aware of any direct service from Taunton - Frome at 1409.

Presume you mean the 1519?

You are indeed correct, But the 14:09 Frome - Taunton does exist, the 15:19 Taunton - Frome is the return working ;)

For the comments about the railcard, I have a disabled adult railcard.

1519 Taunton - Frome will have ample spaces as Taunton passengers have the faster 1530 service to London which is about 40 minutes faster.
