Just want to check, before complaining to GWR, whether I was treated correctly.
My partner and I bought off peak senior returns from Exeter St Davids to Lympstone Village at £2.85 each, in order to visit the National Trust site A La Ronde which turned out to be over a mile from the station and as we got near we saw a bus going to Exmouth so on our return we caught the bus to Exmouth and asked for a Zero excess on our tickets as the fare from Exeter St Davids to Exmouth was also £2.85. We we told be the ticket office staff member that we would have to buy a single to Lympstone Village at £1.50 each, which we then did. Checking with the guard on the train she said that was correct and "helpfully" suggested we could have spent 10p each extra to get returns to Lympstone Village instead of singles.
Are they correct?
