From Kidderminster; route High Wycombe, the fares have not changed. Although I assume the validy will be improved. Of course, this may change in January.

Super Off Peak return = ^25
Off Peak = ^38.50 (the route BHM one is ^45.80)
Anytime = ^91 (route BHM = ^157)

Incorrect BTLIne - I was advised by Chiltern Manager (while on the LM▸ (London Midland - recent franchise) 172 Press launch yesterday) that the Stourbridge / Kiddy fares from September are ^25, ^55 & ^85. Same trains as for Birmingham....

Sorry, I got them from the LM▸ (London Midland - recent franchise) website - not my fault they were wrong.  Sad Cry

I was also told the same by Chiltern. (what was a CH manager doing on that 172 launch btw..?)

It seems that KID are being chinged in the peaks - ^10 more than BMO, where Super Off Peak is the same!

The ones you quoted are the current fares. They change on September 4, with the introduction of the new TT. the peak fare is being reduced. I would expect to pay more from KID, so they actually get a good deal on the Super OP▸ (Original Poster / topic starter), not being chinged on the peak!

Who @ Chiltern gave you that info? Customer Services?

Not only was a Chiltern Manager on that 172, the XC▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) MD came along for a ride @ 100mph south of Dorridge too.

They do talk to each other!

The new fares round commences on Sunday 4th September. It is pointless at the moment trying to use booking engines or NRE▸ (National Rail Enquiries) to discover what changes there are to fares from that date. At the moment, booking engines and National Rail Enquiries will only show the current fares.

From Sunday 7th August the new fares structure should be uploaded to booking engines. That being 4 weeks prior to the new fares round.

Ah - but surely cleaver people could book earlier that 4 weeks and save money...

i.e. = anyone wanting a day out in London on the ^33 fare could book now...
