A Warning to you all!

How did I miss this - had I dozed off?

 

How much to the N.Wales coast? Somewhere like Llandudno?

 

I thought you were in central London?

 

I am. I meant I'm from Pembs originally

 

Hmmm. I'd say 3 hours roughly

 

Ah got ya.

Take you longer than hour from paddington to b'ton as well

 

It was a weekend post over a bank holiday, I chronicled the epic journey from South to North Wales by train. There was even pictures.
I was hoping it would be snapped up and made into a TV series but no luck.

 

Perhaps I was away.
I've taken the train from home to Bristol a few times - it goes through the border and South Wales countryside to Newport where you change for Bristol. I thought it was a very nice journey.
Beats driving the A55 M6 M5 route. That's a bloody nightmare.
The A470 is ok if you have 3 days to get there and don't mind looking at the back of a tractor for hours on end.

 

I use the train often between London and Wales, going Cardiff Saturday.

Once I went to collect my ticket from Carmarthen station, as the smaller towns don't have pre-paid ticket collection machines I had to go to the ticket office. But the internet was down and they couldn't print off my booked ticket. The guy told me to show the ticket inspector my confirmation email which is what I did and everything was OK and thought nothing more of it.

A month later I received an email from Trainline/National Rail saying that I was due a refund on my ticket because it hadn't registered my ticket booking as being collected. They charged £10 admin fee but still got £35 back from a £45 ticket.

Not that I condone taking advantage of such loop holes, I'm merely just stating a flaw in the National Rail system.

Tried it since?
