A very inconsequential chat: Nailsea & Backwell to Bath Spa, return, today

My wife and daughter (neither of whom are particularly experienced in 'the ways of the railways') chose to travel by train for this leisure day out today.

I offered them my advice about 'through trains' and 'off-peak ticket prices' - for which they were grateful.

They apparently had a grand day out, having shopped around Bath and enjoyed lunch, then returned home happy.

Off-peak ticket price was £10.60 each.  I regard that as a bargain, compared with the costs of running a car and parking anywhere in Bath for such an occasional excursion.

CfN.
