Devon and Cornwall deals in February

Wessex Trains is pleased to announce that for the remaining weekends in January and February the return fares on all five Cornish branch lines will be reduced to just £1, and in Devon the fare for travelling on the Exeter to Barnstaple line will be only £3.

See full story

* No mention of any special deals on the TransWilts

* In any case, no weekend trains on the TransWilts (just buses) except on 4th Feb.  If you can pay, normal train fares apply - but it's often hard or impossible to find someone to take your money.  "We say it's free when there's buses" a bus driver told me.  Really it isn't of course ...

I made a point a few months ago about there being no promotion or advertising for Trans Wilts. A similar offer for Trans Wilts would be a great way of getting people back on board at weekends (and a nice gesture) once all the engineering work is finsihed.  Graham do you have a contact at Wessex who we could pass this idea on to?

Maybe ... they have business managers in Bristol (covering us) who I know, and in Devon Cornwall.   But it's probably far too "end of term" as I'm not sure whether the people at that level will be joining First or not, and if so in what role.  If I was xxxxxx, then at the moment I think I would be more concerned with my future that a last minute promotion.   Having said that, xxxxxxx in our area is someone who I have a great respect for and I hope will still be around.
