Thanks sonic!

However (as I should have said) she wants to leave BHM at about 1400, so leaving at 1121 is a tad to early!

Is there any better fares on these services, but I prefer on this not to be tied down to specific trains!

Before i went i had a look at advance for the 1342 to cheltenham from birmingham, available at £7.20 but you would need to purchase a duddeston to birmingham single. Cant look atm as on phone, So just do that then a cheltenham to bristol single, bristol to taunton, taunton to exeter, and then exeter to ivybridge.. New total £34.55 this is without cost of duddeston to birmingham single.

I shall look into it!

Thanks again sonic.
