I'm going down and back to St Ives on Feb 24th from Bristol and have managed to find some great value 1st Adv tickets. Going down I can get BRI» (Bristol Temple Meads - next trains)-SIV on the 0913 for ^11.55 with my railcard. Coming back (and avoiding CrossCountry for as long as possible!) I can get SER-TAU» (Taunton - next trains) for ^10.55 on the 1611, a Std day single'll do from TAU-BRI as I have to endure a vomiter!

Now I can't seem to get a 1st Adv from St Ives for the return that'll connect into the 1611 at St Erth, so I went looking on Avantix (Ticket Issuing System used on board trains) for the SIV-SER Std single. Um....can't find one, nor on online booking sites. Anyone know what the fare is?

Day Ranger - ^4.

Alternatively, a St Ives-Hayle single is ^2.80.

Um...was looking at long distance from St Ives, there were some 1st Adv but not for my destination/time, I am aware that there are no 1st class trains on the branch.
