On Thursday I'm going down to Torquay for the day to visit my parents. However I've just remembered the Whiteball Tunnel closure and the replacement buses between Taunton and Exeter.
I don't particularly want to faff around with replacement buses, but even so the fare is still pretty expensive regardless, so I looked at Cardiff to Bristol by train, then Bristol to Exeter Sowton P&R on the Falcon, and then Digby & Sowton to Torquay by train, which is about £33 return (current fare from Cardiff to Torquay is £42), but even then I'd still need to get from Temple Meads to Bond Street for the Falcon in Bristol.
I was considering Cardiff to Salisbury, Salisbury to Exeter and Exeter to Torquay, all by rail and the timings of which work well, but that's even more expensive.
Just wondered if anyone else had any suggestions. I can't even go down the night before because I work in Starbucks and I don't finish until 22.30 on the Wednesday!
Thanks in advance!
