grrrrr as from today its finished :disappointed:

shame you have to come back the same day.

Thanks for backing me up Moneybag :smiley:

Not this wednesday.a lot of WAT-BRI trains are GWR changing at Paddington. As someone else said, look at the timetable on the swt trains site for direct trains, and then search for the best fare at those times.

Thank You. Adult and child trip to Bovington Tank Muzeum costs only 19£ return

The direct SWT services from BRI to WAT leave at 0851, 1249 & 15:51
So for this Wednesday 27th July you can leave BRI at 08:51 arr WAT 11:49
Leave WAT at 19:20 and arrive back at BRI 22:06

Should add the £16 fare is available for this day return trip

Can I challenge you too? If I wanted to go from Bristol Temple Meads to London Waterloo on Wednesday can it be done? I have tried and I keep getting full price.

NOTE: There is a 'network railcard' which everyone is eligible for (not just young/old/disabled) which gives 1/3 off off peak fares. I think it's only on SWT services.

It also seems to work on peak when leaving London (but not entering London on peak times).

It won't give you 1/3 off this promotional £16 price but if you're regularly travelling on SWT services then it's worth getting.

We're off on holiday from Bristol Airport on the 15th August. My car is spluttering big time and is into the garage on Thursday. If the worst happens, and it's a really expensive fix, we will have to catch the train from Exeter instead. I have a free 2 month Family & Friends railcard which I think expires at the end of July. Just wondering, if I book and pay now for train tickets in advance (for the 15th August) using the railcard, will we still be able to use the paid for tickets if I do not renew the railcard at the end of July? Just wondering if you have to show your railcard on the train (after you have purchased tickets in advance)?

No, You cannot. If you are so sure, tell me a date and time YOU CAN do it and I will check it.

You can do Waterloo-Southampton. Just have to book at least the day before on a date that isn't excluded

It's not really ANYWHERE. For example, you cannot find this offer on their Waterloo - Southampton service. The cheapest return is £43.50

It is of course a bargain for expensive routes like Waterloo - Exeter, but to be honest the first train on this offer reaches Exeter St. Davids at 12:43 and you are left with just half a day to spend there if you want to avail the £16 offer to travel back the same day.

I am assuming - if going to London - the deal only covers London Waterloo and not a travel card?

I guess this is too late but you'd only need one of these £16 tickets.
Worth noting there are some exclusions (like next weekend)

You don't want to come to Poole.

I want to escape Poole that's for sure, hate this place Jul - Sept, way too many tourists.

I'd want to return the same day, late evening.

This may be a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. I live in London and I want to go to Poole on Saturday (23 July). A return from London to Poole costs me £48. However, if I bought two of those offer day return tickets, it comes out at £32 for the whole journey – even though I'd technically be wasting one part of both journeys. My question is this: if I book those, am I obliged to travel at specific times? Or can I travel at any time because it's an off-peak day return?

​Cheers!

I think South West Trains only run to Portsmouth & Southsea from Southampton. You should try Exeter St Davids to Portsmouth & Southsea and see what comes up.

​I just noticed the part of your journey from Salisbury to Portsmouth harbour is via a GWR train service. So won't be at the deal price. might be worth a call to the number in the deal description?

​Could be that there are no SWT scheduled to run at the times your requesting.

Yup. It works if I'm going to London. If I want to go somewhere more fun then it's usually full price.

All options start and at end SWT stations. I assume they're routing through non SWT routes even when they exist and it's not giving me the option to choose them.

I want Exeter to Portsmouth Harbour which are both SWT routes but it seems to take GWR train part of the way even when it's part of the SWT network.

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious...​It must start and finish in a SWT station.

i can find that fare to London but not on one single other route, even the straight lines through all SWT stations.

thanks too

Thanks

No good for me, the cheapest I could find had a 2 after £16 - £162.00
