Stafford To Chippenham

[simonalexander05]

Hey,

I regularly do the journey STA to CPM return, and in the past have travelled changing at:

*Reading
*Birmingham, Gloucester and Swindon
*Birmingham and Bristol
*Wolverhampton, shrewsbury and the heart of wales line (split at wolves, but not sure it was technically a valid route... )
*Euston, paddington
*Tame bridge, Marylebone, Paddington (split at TAB)
*Worcester, Gloucester(split at WOS)
*Oxford, Didcot

Generally, I can get these routes as cheap as or cheaper than the standard open return.

This time, however, I either want to go by the cheapest route, or the cheapest that utilises the severn and solent 3 in 7 day rover...

dates:

leaving STA 26/05/09, arr late afternoon at latest
returning from CPM to GCR on the 29th
then either later on the 29th or early on the 30th, GCR to STA.

I would then like to do the heart of england 3 in 7 day rover from the saturday (30th) onwards.

can anyone recommend the cheapest way of doing any of this?

Thanks in advance,

Simon
