taunton-Frome CDR^▸ (Off Peak Day Return [ticket type] (formerly 'Cheap Day')) (any permitted)

Is this valid VIA Bristol TM^‡(resolve).

Ta!

As I told you on MSN, no.

Taunton to Westbury is though (map CE).

Really? I think your find otherwise though, or certainally for a Frome-Taunton.

The routeing guide showed Frome had routing points Taunton, Westbury and Yeovil. Taunton is its own routeing point. As Taunton to Frome is a direct routeing - only direct route is permitted on that. A Westbury ticket is an entirely different story, though.

if you can get a CDR^▸ (Off Peak Day Return [ticket type] (formerly 'Cheap Day')) from Westbury to Taunton via Bristol, how come it's not possible to get one from Bath Spa to Taunton? I remember reading somewhere about people buying a CDR from Bath to Keynsham and one from there to Taunton as it's cheaper!

I was only offered a Saver when I checked the NR^» (Network Rail - home page) site though, so it seemed unusual you could get a CDR^▸ (Off Peak Day Return [ticket type] (formerly 'Cheap Day')) from a *longer* distance...
