    Conflicting advice on train and on platform

    Preston to Swindon - valid via Newport?

    Hi all, first post. I’m travelling from Preston to Swindon on Friday 4th November, coming back on Sunday 6th November. I’m sure in the past when going instead from Manchester, it has been valid to go via Newport (South Wales) but it is not being shown on itineraries. Travelling via Reading is...
