penryn to truro weekly ticket

[whole diary]

[LiskeardRich]

Is there a weekly fare available? Would be travelling outbound to arrive by 830 returning about 1730 on weekdays. I hold a y.p railcard. I'm moving house to a completly different area imminently so don't want to buy more than a week at a time. A daily ticket due to the peak morning is 3.60. Costs me about 3.00 a day to drive, so trying to find if anyway to find train travel cheaper. I work about 25 min walk from the station, we have a free staff car park. I'm just looking for ways to save money in anyway possible at the moment!

7 Day Season ticket Penryn-Truro is ^11.00. You'll also need a passport sized photo for the accompanying photo card.

Thanks and that's ok to use on peak services? Purchase from manned station?

for the first one, but once you have a photocard you can renew it at one of the self serve machines

A season ticket is valid at all times and for any journey between the two named stations. Thus a Penryn-Truro season can also be used on journeys to/from Perranwall.

And as relex109 says your first weekly season will need to be purchased at a manned station. Subsequent weeklies can be purchased from TVMs^▸ (Ticket Vending Machine) or onboard where no facilities exist.

Lots of the guards carry photo cards, so may not have to make the extra journey into Truro. Then you can renew it on the train from then on.

Thanks for that helpful tip, jester.

Thanks guys very useful info.
Going to make the most of the train now as once I move I won't be able to.
I'm moving to st erth, will still be commuting to truro daily, the timetable heading west from.truro in evening peak shows a gap in service from 1720 ish until 1850 ish. I can only think its a joke by fgw, as surely many commuters like myself who finish at 5 in the  main area where loads of offices are situated can not get to the station by 1720, and aren't going to wait until almost 7 for a train! It's a 25 min walk from where a lot of offices are situated, perhaps if their was a service at just after 1730 from truro heading west, fgw will see passenger numbers soar!

No joke...and the 1720ish one is usually only 2 or 3 carriages during the winter.
You'll be ok during the summer though, when it's a HST^▸ (High Speed Train) and later at 17.45ish.
