Title: Tempting fares (not) on TFW website Post by: Celestial on December 13, 2018, 18:25:34 Has anyone else noticed that the homepage of the TfW Rail website has a section with details of great prices.... except that all the prices quoted seem to be the full standard fares. I wouldn't say £74.60 for a single from Cardiff to Manchester is exactly a bargain worth shouting about.

Probably a reflection of the fact they can fill most of the trains on that route without discounting.
