Title: Another Silly Fare Thread... :P
Post by: thetrout on December 02, 2009, 23:52:02
Not FGW Area... But i've just been checking the price of Tickets from Westbury - Wrexham General to visit relatives and discovered two things that surely don't make sense.

Westbury > Wrexham General - First Class Off Peak Return with Disabled Railcard = ^89.75
Valid Via Wolverhampton > Cosford > Shrewsbury > Chirk or Wolverhampton > Crewe > Chester

Westbury > Shrewsbury - First Class Off Peak Return with Disabled Railcard = ^90.70 Valid Via Cosford Only >:(

Thats not the best bit...

Wrexham General > Shrewsbury - Standard Anytime Day Return with Disabled Railcard = ^5.15

Wrexham General > Shrewsbury - Standard Off Peak Return with Disabled Railcard = ^7.75

Wrexham General > Shrewsbury - First Class Anytime Day Return with Disabled Railcard = ^7.75

So If I wanted a period return from Wrexham General to Shrewsbury... Would that mean the Off Peak is valid on trains say at 6AM on a Tuesday Morning? Interesting... ::)
