Returning from their UK course
A correction to "is it fare" - my previous post. I undertstand the three single fares came to 120 pounds (that's for a journey on an off-peak train, which could not be booked ahead due to possible delays to an incoming airline flight). Still a lot of money for three people to occupy seats for an hour which would otherwise have been vacant.
As you might imagine, my customers were less that happy with the prospect of leaving Melksham on the 17:02 last night (which did run ... so that gives it a 60% record for the week) and changing into an express of the same type / price as the one they arrived on. Indeed, they required me to recommend an alternative and although their journey was going to be slower, they saved well over half the money and left happy.
