Just a reminder that fares from stations on the Newquay Branch (excluding Par) are still half price until the end of February, these can only be purchased from the guard on the train and where a Off Peak Day Return is valid. ie anywhere Cornwall side of Tiverton/Axminster. Railcard and Group Save available on top, means four people can do a day return Newquay to Exeter for something like ^3.80 each!! Go on, get out and use it Wink)

Thanks Slippy.  I have even better news.  Those kind people at FGW (First Great Western) have agreed to extend the offer until the end of March.
