    Yeovil Stations.

    There is a bus as others have said running between the two, which in my experience is timed to coincide with arrivals at Junction, and in my experiences, is sometimes held for late arrivals at Junction. It picks up just after the footbridge getting off the platform. It goes via the Town Centre...

    Chiltern Ticket Relaxations

    I currently have an Advance ticket to travel from Leamington Spa to Marylebone today. Will Chiltern relax the restrictions due to the line blockage between Leamington and Banbury, or should I turn up near the time of my advance ticket? By the sounds of NRE just now they're only at the stage of...

    Coventry to Yeovil (ish)

    Hi all, Got a bit of a last minute trip so can't take advantage of any advance tickets or anything. Leaving Coventry today (afternoon), coming back either Friday / Saturday. Ideally would like to head into Yeovil Junction. Have a Young Persons Railcard, and the through fare is £43.70...

    South West Trains at Castle Cary

    Yesterday I was at Castle Cary at about 20:30. I saw at least 1 SWT train (and possibly another). I was wandering if anyone has any information about these as I can't find much online. I know the destination of one was Bristol Temple Meads. How come SWT would be doing this when I thought this...

    Ticket Restricted??

    I hold an Off Peak, Young Persons Discounted, Return from Castle Cary to London Terminals. I am currently at London Paddington and tried to board the 17:33 service. I believe that my ticket is valid for this service - any times mentioned for the restriction code on BRFares are before I'm wanting...

    Journeys between train stations which can be made quicker on foot!

    Again a walk between the two Yeovil Stations (which unless you could cut across some fields) would be a treturous walk along a busy road!

    Journeys between train stations which can be made quicker by bus

    Yeovil Pen Mill - Yeovil Junction! 2.4mi by road - with bus service. Would take a while by train (unless you count a non-stopping sleeper service which does occasionally use the curve between the two stations, but is the only thing I know of that does).

    First Great Western Diversions spring 2013

    Mod Note: Duplicate thread merged into main thread Have just noticed that FGW are planning on running services into WAT [London Waterloo] over Easter, because of the engineering work going on over Reading. Does anyone know if the trains that FGW run between the West Country and Waterloo will...

    Yeovil Stations

    Indeed - the walk between the two Yeovil Stations is not fantastic and I really wouldn't want to be walking along the lanes in the light, let alone at dark. I'd be travelling from Coventry / Warwick, so I believe my options are to go via Birmingham and Bristol (which would take me to Pen...

    Yeovil Stations

    Annoyingly, Yeovil Pen Mill and Yeovil Junction do not belong to a group, such that I can't buy a ticket to 'Yeovil Stns' and change routes / plans depending on what day / time I want to travel (which can pay off over the weekend as the service at Jcn. seems to be better than Pen Mill). My...

    Impartial Retailing - Child / Adult Tickets

    Just thinking about all the mentions to impartial retailing etc. on the forum whereby the tickets requested must be sold. Does this apply to child tickets - or is it more for route / TOC restrictions i.e to stop TOC 1 only selling tickets for TOC 1 where TOC 2 is less restrictive / cheaper /...

    XC Weekend First & Railcard Reduced Tickets

    10 :o coupons have just dropped through my door for this journey!! On top of the seat reservation for the return journey (along with another coupon for the weekend first upgrade!) the seat reservation class is 'STD' but the coach is A, which I believe is the first class coach on XC? Is this just...

    XC Weekend First & Railcard Reduced Tickets

    Thanks. I just had visions of me getting on, sitting down (for a joyous four and a bit hour journey on a Voyager :roll: ) and then having issues with the ticket. Cheers.
