Now with so many posts about fares and spliting tickets.

This is just for fun.

There is a minimum Once daily (Mon-Fri) through train service between 2 FGW▸ (First Great Western) stations where a through ticket is NOT available. The journey operates as a through service in both direction.

The FGW web site states:  NO tickets are available please refine your search.  Huh

NRES▸ (National Rail Enquiry Service) web site does offer a fare, but only Rovers and/or Ranger fares.  Roll Eyes

Simple question: Which Stations?

OK over to the Boffins Grin Grin Grin

St Budeaux Victoria Road <> St Budeaux Ferry Road

20 minutes by train, 3 minutes on foot!

Correct but I'd say it's 1 minute by foot.  Smiley

Well depends on your fitness level and how much traffic there is on the bridge!

To be honest, to me it would make more sense, to rename St Budeaux Ferry Road AND St Budeaux Victoria Road, simply St Budeaux and have platforms 1,2 and 3.
