There seem to be some good discounts available for group bookings of 8 - 10 people.

not sure if this is the same thing they used to offer for 4 people or not

As of yesterday I hate the national rail website!
The cheapest ticket for me to get home was £25, so I bought it. The next day I look on the First Great Western website and there's one available for about £11  :evil:
