Trowbridge to Clapham Junction via Salisbury

[ValleyLines142]

Afternoon,

Just trying to work out whether a Super Off-Peak Single from Trowbridge to Clapham Junction with the route via Salisbury would be valid from Southampton Central? Obviously there are direct trains from Salisbury to Waterloo but to be honest, I quite fancy a ride on a Desiro, so was wondering whether that fare would be valid as I'd be travelling via Salisbury from Trowbridge to Southampton with GWR.

Thanks in advance!

Why not just change at Basingstoke if you really want a less comfortable train than the 159s?

Can you get NRE to offer a fare that way? Or via Eastleigh (OK, slight problem there...)

I don't think so. You'd need something like a return from Basingstoke to Romsey to cover the gap.

It's okay. I got off at Woking and got a 12-car 450 to Waterloo.

Luxurious.

I assume you were on the service which doesn't call at Clapham, the stopper from Salisbury. Normally if you change at Basingstoke it is a ~ 6 minute wait on the same platform for a service from Weymouth which is normally a 444, non-stop to Clapham.

No, sorry, I was on the 9.29 from Trowbridge, and then got an Alton to Waterloo service to Clapham.
