Plymouth-Weymouth

[PAFCStan]

Hi all,

What would be the cheapest way to get from Plymouth to Weymouth on Saturday, 19th July? I'd like to arrive in Weymouth between 1100 and 1300, and leave Weymouth later than 1730. Thanks in advance.

So this split WOULDN'T require changing between Junction and Pen Mill?

No, the suggested itinerary is in the first two bullet points which just requires you to change platforms at Castle Cary
