    Is Kidderminster an anomaly or is this the norm?

    Ahh I see it's because there is no day return that the price is so high in comparison, despite the trip from KID - WOF/WOS being around 30 minutes.

    Is Kidderminster an anomaly or is this the norm?

    Hi, I've been looking at a return trip from Kidderminster (KID) to Oxford (OXF). If I do a straight return on a Saturday (changing at Worcester) it's £42.80. If I ticket split at Worcester it's £6.70 + £19.10 = £25.80 or 60% of the original cost. I have noticed a lot of fares via Birmingham...

    Breaking a return journey early

    Just as a slight curveball, I may drive to Stourbridge Junction (SBJ) and avail myself of the free carpark.

    Breaking a return journey early

    Thanks for your swift and comprehensive response. I wasn't aware you could double-back Wolverton to MK - is this because there are fewer trains from Wolverton? There are direct trains BHM to Wolverton so seems strange you can elongate your journey via MKC...

    Breaking a return journey early

    Hi all, I'm looking at doing Kidderminster -> Wolverton, then following day Milton Keynes Central (MKC) -> Kidderminster the following day (Saturday morning, Sunday daytime). If I was to buy an off-peak return to MKC, can I hop out at Wolverton? I would be travelling from Wolverton to Milton...
