For the advance purchase fares to Plymouth, you need to be travelling from beyond St. Austell, they are not available for St. Austell to Plymouth on FGW^▸ (First Great Western) but are available on Cross Country trains.

Alittle secret, some people who travel from Lostwithiel/Bodmin buy a leisure advance from Truro as it works out cheaper.

I did try that but on that day, there were revenue standards inspectors at St. Austell so I had to buy a standard day return. So now I use a monthly season ticket which gives me the flexibility I need.

But that would not be valid as you cannot breaka journey?

This also distorts the passenger figures which must cause a problem for FGW.

You can't break journies on any advance purchase ticket - but you can on any walk on ticket apart from Savers (return portion only can be broken).
