Advance fares - hardly the most robust offering
Later this week ... my trip ...
Departs Melksham at 16:39 and arrives in Swindon (Wilts) at 17:06.
Departs Swindon (Wilts) at 18:04 and arrives in London Paddington at 19:01.
Departs London Paddington at 19:18 and arrives in Stratford (London) at 19:36.
Departs Stratford (London) at 19:43 and arrives in Harwich International at 21:00.
Good price - but - WHY sell me a ticket that has me waiting nearly an hour at Swindon, then is followed by tight changes at Paddington and Stratford? Would it not be logical to offer an earlier train into Paddington, with more leeway in crossing London?
