Would include trams in Chemnitz and Zwicau DB RE and Vogltlandbahn heavy rail and local buses. And you can call in the Braushaus in Zwicau a couple of 100 yards away from the Centrum (International) Station. Joint metre gauge tram and standard gauge heavy rail station.

Worth checking locally to see if there are any cheaper deals. Don't they have chips and arcades in Exmouth? ;)
Title: Re: winner gets nothing :0) Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on December 21, 2008, 11:40:21 to be fair its a trip i would never make as i would get on at digby honiton or whimple where this ticket is valit from but unavailable... the 8.50 ticket would not be valid at peak times and dont think you can have a break in journey
Title: Re: winner gets nothing :0) Post by: G.Uard on December 21, 2008, 11:43:41 The ^8.50 ticket can be used at around 17.00 hrs and later and is valid for break of journey on the return leg.

I think I can see it for six pounds. Stagecoach Devon Explorer (you didn't specify train, did you?) ... 57 Exmouth to Countess Weir, then X38 to Plymouth. Return on X38 to Wonford, then 2 to Dawlish. 2 from Dawlish to Wonford, then 57 back to Exmouth.

with breaks and at peak time this ticket has no restrictions other than it can be used only on that day after 9am what is the cheapest ticket with the least restrictions Title: Re: winner gets nothing :0) Post by: grahame on December 21, 2008, 12:16:31 starts to cry..... ok im sorry if i wasnt very clear but i did mean train and please nobody point out that if i hide in the toilet that i can get there for free.... on the train Sorry - that was a bit naughty of me. In our 'neck of the woods', trains are infrequent by comparison. Many is the time that I've taken a much slower ride by bus if there isn't a train due for a number of hours. Title: Re: winner gets nothing :0) Post by: vacman on December 21, 2008, 19:44:44 I think Off-Peak from Exmouth is any time after 0850, no evening restrictions so you could have an off-peak return for ^8.50 or a Devon day ranger for ^10.00

I'd rephrase that about Unlimited Bus (any Company) maybe OK with FWN and Westrern Greyhound but I'd be surprised if it's valid on all the Small operators services.
