Ticketing challenge: My daughter has challenged me to propose the best tickets/trains for her journey with the following itinerary:
Tuesday 11 July: Stafford to Birmingham, arrive before 9am. Birmingham to Exeter, depart after 1pm (e.g. 13.12)
Wednesday 12 July: Exeter to Digby & Sowton at 8.30am. Digby & Sowton to Stafford depart 4.30pm (e.g. 16.43)
I have tried feeding this into trainsplit (on the forum), using break of journey at Birmingham with 240 minute change time. Couldn't get anything meaningful out. Tried it again with Exeter as the destination, returning from there at 17.27 which is the connection appropriate to leaving Digby at 16.43, and there is a solution, which interestingly includes an Advance Single from Wolverhampton to Cheltenham Spa. I'm not sure how that accommodates the stopover in Birmingham.
