Day Return - Liverpool to Weymouth

[ChrisTheRef]

My mind boggles even trying this one!

It's purely hypothetical, but assume I'd be travelling with no more than a few days notice.

I have a PRIV and a 16-25 railcard.

Don't mind not taking the most direct route, but I'd need at least 3-4 hours in Weymouth.

Your help, as always, invaluable

Tight official connection at Stafford in the morning. You might want to catch the 0527 from Liverpool Lime Street - Stafford.

The last ticket in bnm's suggestion can be substituted with a Freedom of Severn & Solent 3 in 7 day Rover. It costs £10 with Priv.

The suggested journey is too early for the rover, I think.

.... but won't be valid from Cheltenham Spa with the timings given. I'd already checked and discounted the option of using the FOSS Rover.

Many thanks.

I know I can get LIV-BHM cheaper by splitting at STA. I don't suppose anyone can split the CNM-WEY leg and get it cheaper? :/
