Some fares (including Melksham - Chippenham and Melksham - Swindon) have recently been LOWERED. This means that a Chippenham to Melksham single is now just 2.80. The lowest return fare offered to London if you book on the day / train remains 105.00. For booking ahead, the FGW site lists 20 different single fares - most of them "book ahead" and with very limited availability. These tickets must be posted (extra charge) or collected ahead of time from a ticket machine at Chippenham (or other more distant) station.

Even more of an indictment of the madness that is the current fare pricing 'system' across all networks. I would like to know why it costs me two-thirds of a Salisbury - London fare to travel Salisbury - Winchester (£20 without railcard saver return) when the distance is not two-thirds of the way to London.

The Saver fare from Warminster to Winchester (via Salisbury!) is £18. It's also £18 from Trowbridge.

There you go, Courgettelawn ... book from Trowbridge  I just got a quote for the journey as a day trip from Melksham and the FGW web site won't offer me a saver of any type - just a standard open return at 92 pounds. The fare system is a lottery! |
