NOW HEAR THIS NOW HEAR THIS - IMPORTANT TRAIN INFO.....

[yeo]

Along with the Fast Show mongers ,some kid slurping his drink and the Dads Army Bus tour I can safely say im never getting a coach to footy ever again

[Summerof69]

I wish I had seen this earlier - I paid £28.90 for mine, because I saw this "group save exceptions calendar" posted online earlier:

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/groupsave_calendar.html

I think a lot of people who has bought group savers are going to be disappointed, because you can bet the guards will be under orders to fine people who travel on trains before the 13.30 time with groupsaver tickets.

Group savers can travel at anytime.

Id be mighty suprised if tickets were even checked on the train or any barriers are down.Though its not a rick im going to take

Group savers can travel at anytime.

Normally, yes, but it looks like there are exceptions. That document is from the National Rail site and it says groupsave is NOT available between Swindon and Paddington on 29th up to 13.30, like there is between South Wales and Paddington on Saturday for the Championship play-off.

I used to organise rail travel for work, and I know of instances that people didn't have the right ticket, and they would fine them on the spot.

I don't agree with it as they totally rip-off the people who go on the peak service between Swindon and London.

right then, no time like the present and dont wanna get charged a tenner for getting these refunded!!.....so who wants me 8 x £11.50 groupsavers from hungerford?

leave car at hungerford and just stay on train back from paddington to swindon rather than getting off at reading and just pick up car next day. alternatively, got quoted cab fare of £20-£25 from v cars.

[ronnie21]

I'm driving to Bicester North, direct train to Wembley Stadium from there, about £15.

[rich]

So are these £16 tickets still happening or not?

[ron dodgers]

they are not selling group savers for my 0911 departure
8.90 Swindon-Didcot return (4.45 under 16)
21.80 travelcard Didcot-Lunnen includes underground overground wombling free (1.00 for u16)
under 3's are free
I've got 60 tickets in my pocket!!!!!

[Mudfish]

So are these £16 tickets still happening or not?

Rich, I bought 4, worked out that we bought super off peak returns to didcot, and then group savers incl underground from didcot to london. £16 each, a cracking lass selling these at Swindon station tonight. Give it a go in the morning, call centre staff in Delhi are useless and will insist it cannot be done this way!

[tans]

Good job im going from Banbury then!

[Phil_S]

phil-s how many are in your party?my mrs and her mate want to go now my car is full.

Don't know how many for sure. Definitely 3, but could be 8 when my son & his mates hurry up & decide how they are getting there.

[Phil_S]

So the Group savers are not valid for Swindon to London. They may be valid from Chippenham to London. Am I right ?

[caveman]

just this minute been down the station and booked 1 groupsave and 1 standard fare via didcot on any train via didcot worked out £19.10 each
