Cheltenham Spa to Ashford International

[willas00]

Hi,

Hoping someone can help me.

Need tickets for 1 Adult, 1 Child to travel from Cheltenham Spa to Ashford International on 28th Feb.

Leaving as early as possible and arriving back into Cheltenham on the same day.

I've looked at advance tickets which are a bit OTT. Seems weekends are cheaper. Not sure on the best option to split.

Have a Family & Friends Railcard too!

Thanks in advance for the help

Just looking at the first price - Are you sure? Costs me a fortune on the HS1 from Ramsgate wo how the hell it costs that much from Cheltenham


PS i have not looked it up but im amazed at the price difference

That's an Advance ticket, the fare from Ramsgate (not sure where to?) that you are comparing will be a walk-on ticket.

The pricing manager of SET allegedly throws a bit of a wobbler over the idea of people using his shiny new trains for a cheap price.

I was as surprised as you, looked it up three times on NRE. And because a picture says a thousand words

Did this back in the summer, one way from Folkestone - Bath for £13.50.

This doesn't suprise me.
