Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right board to post this on, but anyone who holds a monthly or longer season ticket on First Great Western is entitled to a Standard Day Return ticket for ^10 (First Day Return for ^20) for any travel on any FGW▸ (First Great Western) route/train on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays between 5 July & 28 September.

The offer allows the season ticket holder, plus one other adult to travel for the above mentioned prices, each. Up to four children can travel for half the above fares with each season ticket holder.

Anyone who currently has an eligible season ticket should recieve a letter with a voucher (and some free car parking tickets too!), but if you're a new customer or want to make additional journeys you can download one from http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/takeafriend.

Does anyone know if there is a cheaper monthly season than Clifton Down - Bristol Temple Meads, which is ^23.10?

Got my letter yesterday - I wish I had a week's holiday to take off work so we could go down to Cornwall for ^10 each and travel back the following weekend (not really worth going for a day). Might manage a day trip to Oxford though.

Remember with this letter you will only receive the mailout if your season ticket was purchased at an FGW▸ (First Great Western) station and your address supplied.
