Trowbridge to Bolton query

« on: January 23, 2014, 21:07:45 »

A bit of a challenge for you fares buffs out there. Return from Trowbridge to Bolton, out on Friday 28 February via Manchester Airport, returning Sunday 2 March. Times flexible although I want to avoid advance fares. Cheapest I can find, with railcard, is ^52.80 via Hereford. Is there anything cheaper?

Not sure how Arriva Trains Wales Club 55 might work out ... or indeed whether I'm insulting you be even suggesting that, Roger [which railcard is it?]. I used a 23 pound Severn Tunnel Junction to Chester return yesterday - that's the lower "not Friday" price - but I suspect that the add ons etc will take you over the 52.80 where part of the journey is a Friday

Thanks for that Grahame. I did subsequently find Club 55 (well above the required age) and as my plans have now changed to include a NW rover I only need a ticket to Manchester. Also I am now travelling out on Thursday and back on Monday. The add on to include the Northern train via the airport is very little, so a definite saving Grin
