Did you know that a Standard Day return From Melksham to Bristol TM (Train Manager, or possibly Ticket Machine, depending on context) Is ^8.20 but a cheap day return is ^8.90. Huh

Today they tried a cheap day but I did get the conductor to issue a standard, she could not understand why this was the case,

Thanks to the nice lady.

Schhh, you should'nt have posted that, they'll put the Standard Day return up to ^9.20 to compensate.
