Has anyone got the timings from Bristol Parkway to Penzance for the above tour. I know it’s fully booked, I’m just looking at booking somewhere down in the South West to photograph it. Cheers for any info regarding.

Hi I’m fast approaching my 50th birthday & was wondering if there was a railcard for single types like me.

After a trip from Didcot to Clapham Junction via Reading (£25 which is very good value) could I return to Didcot via Basingstoke & Reading or do I have to do the reverse of the outward journey? Cheers for any help. Carl
