Am thinking of doing a BTM▸ (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI) but BTM is a commonly used alternative)) or BPW» (Bristol Parkway - next trains) circular via Oxford and Worcester tomorrow using a railcard. And as cheaply as possible. !

Cannot find any rangers covering the  whole length of the Cotswold line, they all seem to stop at Much Binding... sorry that dates me ....Moreton in the Marsh!

Are the return trains from Worcs Forget Street or Shurb HIll  to Briz hourly or 2 hourly ?

Thanks for any help and advice you can offer

The trains are every hour from Bristol to Gloucester/Cheltenham with 1 train every 2 hours continuing to Great Malvern.

Starter:  Super offpeak return - Bristol Temple Meads to Moreton-in-Marsh, 40 pounds (without railcard; I've never been able to find one that suits me).   Seems to be valid via Worcester or via Didcot ... but not Reading.  Not for tomorrow now, but I did find for 25th an advanced single on the 10:41 from BRI» (Bristol Temple Meads - next trains) via Worcester to MIM for 7 pounds, and then a ticket back (stay on same train, change seat at MIM?) for 20 pounds.
