Q. re. costs & ticket options weekend of 15/16 July

« on: June 28, 2017, 21:21:04 »

I'm busy with a "perfect storm" of various council-related deadlines right now so my apologies for asking the forum for information which I could, possibly, find out for myself by making a few phone calls, but...

I have some visitors from overseas staying with me here in Melksham arriving Friday 14th July. They are killing two birds with one stone, as they want to see me (madness, I know...) but also need to attend a wedding in Bath on the 15th. They have overnight accommodation provided in Bath on Saturday night, and will stay with me on the Friday. The idea is to leave their hire car with me and catch the bus or train to Bath on Saturday morning and return to Melksham on Sunday morning (well, lunchtime-ish).

I would hazard a guess that the bus is the most convenient option for them - no changes involved - but does anyone have even a ball park figure of the approximate cost for 2 adults? Are there weekend passes available?

For the train a change at Trowbridge, or Chippenham would be required, according to the National Rail site it would cost £24.40 all together (Using Anytime day singles).
