Hi, I was just wondering if someone could tell me the valid route(s) for a Worcester-Bristol TM Cheap Day Rtn please? Specifically, is it valid via Hereford as well as Gloucester?

Thanks

Agreed.

Maps BD + CE allows

Worcester - Hereford via Great Malvern (Map CE)
Hereford - Bristol via Newport (Map BD)

So, yes, it's valid via Hereford. But BD+CE also allows:
CE:

• Worcester - Cheltenham direct, or
• Worcester - Smethwick - Birmingham - Barnt Green - Cheltenham.

then

• Cheltenham - Gloucester - Swindon, or
• Cheltenham - (avoiding Gloucester) - Swindon.

Then BD:

• Swindon - Bristol, or
• Swindon - Chippenham - Bath - Bristol, or
• Swindon - Chippenham - Westbury - Bath - Bristol.

Maps CE allows

Worcester to Bristol via Cheltenham
Worcester to Bristol via Cheltenham,Gloucester,Newport

CE Allows:

• Worcester - Cheltenham direct, or
• Worcester - Smethwick - Birmingham - Barnt Green - Cheltenham.

then:

• Cheltenham - (avoiding Gloucester) - Yate - Bristol, or
• Cheltenham - Gloucester - Yate - Bristol, or
• Cheltenham - Gloucester - Newport - Bristol.

It's worth mentioning that the Off-Peak Day Return (former Cheap Day Rtn) Worcester - Bristol is route Not Birmingham. The CDR Worcester - Bristol is valid only on those routes which avoid Birmingham.
