Splitting at Taunton is indeed the cheapest way of leaving Devon!

was quite impressed, i went from digby and only cos ^13.45 (dig to taunton and seperate taunt to cardiff) brought back memorys traveling on this service altho some of the seats are passed it and they really need to clean the outside as you can hardly see out of the windows, i did regret not buying something to eat on the way up there... is a long trip and no buffet or trolly   Sad

I was disapointed when I wen to `Minehead last that the loco had failed at cardiff, meaning I had to wait an hour for the next service!

How long is it due to run for??
