Passengers from Salisbury and Bedwyn should be advised to buy split tickets.

Upwey Wishing ... well ... you are probably right, but not the answer I had. Passengers from Salisbury and Bedwyn should be advised to buy split tickets.
Agreed, save that we're not marketing it from those stations. |

Weymouth.  Indeed ... And you'll note that the lowest fares are from the furthest distance. I just loves the fare system! |

'System' implies some thought, organisation and logic. None of those apply to rail fare pricing in the UK▸ . |

Was also thanks to Twitter who thought it was important to show me the conversation between Grahame and FGW▸ Twitter team earlier today. |

Since it is not an advance fare, if I turn up at Trowbridge I could ask for a Swindon to Weymouth ticket and use it from Trowbridge. In that case surely the TOC▸ should sell me the cheapest ticket which would be the Swindon one?
