Title: Bargain! Taunton to London at peak hour for only ^65 return... Post by: devon_metro on September 14, 2009, 14:20:35 As far as First Great Western is concerned, I can arrive in London at 0900 (or even earlier!), have a travelcard so I can see the sights, and return after 7pm for only ^65 on a Super Saver Return!!
Thats only ^118 cheaper than what I should be paying... (http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l50/liamy_2006/fgw_ticket_error.jpg) Title: Re: Bargain!

Why do people keep using this phrase ? Surely what you should be paying is whatever you can get, at whatever price, to achieve your travel aim ??? The man from FGW would doubtless say that you should be paying ^183 ! Title: Re: Bargain! Taunton to London at peak hour for only ^65 return... Post by: devon_metro on September 14, 2009, 14:31:00 Yes, because its an error of the system. The real fare is ^183. It just so happens that the SSR Travelcard does not have any morning restrictions (erroneously)
The TM is likely to raise an eyebrow, however if you are sold this fare, they can't do anything so long as you have adequate evidence. Use it or loose it :D Title: Re: Bargain!

Hmmm, I don't think I'm brave enough to try that on!!! Title: Re: Bargain! Taunton to London at peak hour for only ^65 return... Post by: JayMac on September 14, 2009, 20:30:27 No longer available. Shame!
How is that FGW can rectify an error that financially disadvantages them in a matter of hours, yet when a pricing error is overcharging passengers (Severn Beach Line railcard discounts) it takes them 6 weeks to fix?

Blimey! Title: Re: Bargain! Taunton to London at peak hour for only ^65 return... Post by: Btline on September 14, 2009, 21:15:26 As I said, check the LM website. ;) It has happened on...several... occasions. ;D
