To me the important change to the ticketing system would be to how an advance is calculated. Rather than the current system where you get the cheapest tier of advances available for the whole journey, the journey planners should just add together the cheapest tier for each section. That will...

Edit- the Google link shows the bay but it is too short. Only other options to use P6 but that may have other issues with services to Paignton or the occasional full hst that turns there from a semi-fast run from Paddington

I used to live backing onto the line just north of St David's, and would see the occasional sprinter go past with Bristol or Cardiff on the front. I've just run through RTT for tomorrow and found 4 non IC services all day. #25 is very right though. I guess the solution medium term could be when...
