Yeovil Junction to Basingstoke Return Journey

[Kath123]

Hi

Next week I am planning to make the following return journey:

Outward Journey Tuesday 4th March

Planning to catch the train leaving Yeovil Junction at 17:30 arriving at Basingstoke at 19:00

Return part of journey Wednesday 5th March

Catch the 16:08 train from Basingstoke arriving in Yeovil Junction at 17:38

I am visually impaired and have a Disabled railcard. It will just be me travelling.

From the research I have managed to do I think the cheapest fare I can get is a Super Off Peak Return costing £20.80. If that’s the case then I’m happy with that as it is cheaper than I thought but I just want to check my journey is definitely eligible for this and if anyone can find a cheaper option then all the better! If a super off peak return fare is best then can I just buy it on the day of my outward journey or do I need to buy in advance?

I am assuming Basingstoke will be staffed and able to provide assistance for the times im travelling. Is anyone able to confirm this? Re Yeovil Junction I know it should be staffed unless they are short staffed. I am really just hoping for the best as I can’t really travel earlier either day.

Any help much appreciated - thanks.

According to South Western Railway’s site Basingstoke is staffed all the time. The ticket office is open until 21.30.

Yes, that’s a valid ticket, restriction code UL

Ticket Restriction UL | National Rail

Ticket restriction details UL. Each train ticket restriction code states when and/or on what train(s) the ticket is not valid and the days and/or dates that these restrictions apply.

www.nationalrail.co.uk

Not valid on trains timed to depart after 04:29 and before 12:01

You can buy on the day, if that works for you.
