Look for squidface@hotmail.co.uk - Dave Dickinson.

Thanks for picking up the invite

For any Facebook lovers out there, this is a pretty neat game (added my invite to it to be cheeky):

Controlling airships, exploring, etc....

Also, anyone else play mousehunt?  That's quite fun!

Cheers.

And that sort of service really makes a difference - when the staff make an effort to get the best discount for you (but still within the rules of course!)

Not quite on topic - but I get a annual season ticket for this run Newton - Exeter and it dropped dramatically when I renewed it in Nov last year - from ^1050 down to ^880.

My previous annual ticket lasted the whole year through the barriers at Exeter - although you could barely read it!

Zoe, yes, the Newton Abbot ticket office can be a nightmare - it's the enquiries that seem to be the problem (as Devonian said).

I have been travelling with a annual railcard for the last year and a bit - and it's so nice not to have to go to the ticket office every morning....

Mine has gone from ^1052 to ^883 - I am very pleased!

I should note that's the Newton Abbot to Exeter St Davids run.

The last time I went to Totnes, some dude was banging a gong every 30 seconds in a park and one chap was walking through the town in just his underpants - "the walk of shame".....

Its a class place!

Also - 25 minutes to drive from Teignmouth to Totnes?  Depends on the time and route I guess, but I am sure that doesn't take into account the sometimes dreadful traffic in Newton.

Yes, I've always wondered why they have that train call in at all the stops on the way...barmy.  Whatever happened to joined up public transport 

No matter, I'll stick with the 7:30 as getting home a bit earlier works out better anyway...

Thanks for the welcome!  I rather think my experience of XC^▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) performance since they took over has put First Great Western in a much better light, they don't seem to be doing a good job of getting a handle of things....

I "migrated" to the 7:30 service from Newton Abbot sometime ago - much nicer, the 8:03 is a joke.  Trouble is I generally have to get the 16:45 home which is almost as bad.  XC^▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) need to ditch their toy trains as soon as possible.
