When you click on 'Network Card' option on the scroll down list, you also have to press on the number of cards (i.e 1 network card or 1 gold card etc). That seems to be newish & I haven't done that before anyway. So it was coming up with the full price as it wasn't recognising the network card.Poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116513967674276886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-7180652009121941182015-11-08T09:42:18.325+00:002015-11-08T09:42:18.325+00:00Hi Poppy, not sure where you got your travel infor...Hi Poppy, not sure where you got your travel information, but the SWT website says an Off-Peak Day Return is £30.15 and an Off-Peak Return (eg. out Sat, back Sun) is £33.95, both with Railcard.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491475051270094030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-37593617200613788902015-11-07T22:59:37.966+00:002015-11-07T22:59:37.966+00:00hi there,

However, I would love to be corrected on this, but according to the train websites, the cost for a day trip is £57 WITH a network railcard. The cost for returning on the Sunday is £63 WITH a railcard.<br />Please tell me I have got this wrong! I came back from Cornwall recently for £22.50!<br />Why is it costlier to go to Tisbury than Truro? I think I may have to give it a miss!Poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116513967674276886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-76048403049634761442015-10-13T17:37:59.195+01:002015-10-13T17:37:59.195+01:00On the suggested walk (short version) stop at The ...On the suggested walk (short version) stop at The Forester pub for a glass or two of Donhead Diva a sparkling dry cider cunningly disguised as Prosecco. The food is exceptional too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
