I've heard Hatts are running buses from different Wilts towns, at around £20 a seat. I'm going by train this time, didn't enjoy the trip back on the bus at all.

Phil you can bring the cost down £ 144 by getting a off peak return to Didcot parkway for £13.30  and an off peak return to paddington from Didcot for £22.50 = £36.00 each or for another £4.00 each you can purchase an off peak return with an off peak london travel card (use on bus rail and uderground) from Didcot for £26.50 this will take you from chippenham and return to Wembley for £ 40.00 each  .You would have to ensure that the trains you use stop at didcot both ways ,this may mean changing trains at Swindon on the outward journey

Hatts Coaches are running from Chippenham at £20 a pop, leaving the bus station at 9.45 or Sheldon School at 10.00. They reckon they will get us to Wembley for 1 pm. I've decided to train it.

That's cutting it a bit fine.  The SAS coaches are leaving at 08:30.
