Title: Discounts for multiple journeys? Post by: Brucey on January 18, 2011, 15:45:38 In May and June, I'll be needing for make at least 10 (possibly 12) journeys between Cosham and Clifton Down or Temple Meads.
With a railcard, the journeys are ^25.10 return off-peak (buying from Havant). I won't be returning the same day in most cases. I'm not sure of the exact dates yet, but I would expect some weeks may need 2 or 3 return journeys. Advance fares won't be any good for the return direction as I can't guarantee what time I'll finish in Bristol. Do FGW offer any type of carnet ticket? Can anyone suggest anything that might be cheaper? Title: Re: Discounts for multiple journeys? Post by: Mookiemoo on January 18, 2011, 16:09:14 I was wondering the same but in terms of one way season tickets!
Can get really cheap advance fares to get home - but FC advances don't seem to exist of a morning anymore Title: Re: Discounts for multiple journeys? Post by: devon_metro on January 18, 2011, 16:17:56 Oddly, if travelling from Bristol Temple Meads, it is cheaper to buy a ticket to/from Yatton/Nailsea.
Yatton - Cosham SVR ^23.75 Bristol - Cosham SVR ^26.40 Title: Re: Discounts for multiple journeys? Post by: Brucey on January 18, 2011, 16:49:18 That's a new one on me DM. Certainly not something I've noticed before. ;D
Title: Re: Discounts for multiple journeys? Post by: Brucey on February 02, 2011, 09:51:50 I've just received the first few dates when I'll need to travel. Two in one week so looks like I'll be using a Freedom of Severn & Solent 3 in 7.
Strangely: Cosham to Clifton Down SVR ^26.40 Freedom of Severn & Solent 3 in 7 ^26.40 Only difference is the rover is valid after 0900 weekdays whereas the SVR is valid out of Cosham at 0830. I wonder how many people travel more than once in a week and are actually aware of this oddity?
