Title: Groupsave not available though gwr.com?
Post by: PhilWakely on August 23, 2016, 08:48:51
Am I missing something or is Groupsave no longer available when booking online through gwr.com?

I need to add three more adults to a party of Holiday Club children travelling today from PIN  to EXT and wanted to select a Groupsave option as you could through the old booking engine, but it does not appear to be listed as an option anywhere.

To repeat, am I missing something?

It should offer you GroupSave as one of the fare options by default rather than having to request it as a railcard.

I'm delighted that it now does this.   Even gives you Groupsave for 2 adults + 1 child.

There is the (much more minor) issue that some customers read the resulting prices as per person and panic, not realising that the price is for the whole group - "You told me £17.50 each but the web site quoted £33.60 - and for three of us that's over £100 ..."
