Obviously been a while since I have been back in the UK, and even longer since going to an away game by train.
The price I have found for Bournemouth to Cardiff is £65.
Is that the going rate, or am I missing out on discount ticket sites?
Thanks in advance.
Eightpence ha'penny?The last time I travelled from Bournemouth to Cardiff on a train was a rather special day out with the train full of Cherries fans.
Can’t remember the price of the ticket then.

Ask Table if there is room on the magic bus, listening to Grateful Dead will certainly make the trip enjoyable, just don't ask if their have any Niel Sedaka songs.I’m sure some kind hearted soul would give you a lift if you ask nicely. They will be regally entertained by your unique sense of humour.
Old story from Echo.
ORIGINALLY built as two separate rural routes that eventually linked to provide a single-ticket ferry and train ride from South Wales to Paris via Poole, the Somerset & Dorset Railway closed under the Beeching axe in 1966.
Passengers on the Wales to France route had to board a ferry at Cardiff for the journey across the Bristol Channel to Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset, catch a train via Evercreech Junction to Poole, board another ferry for Cherbourg and then take a second train to the French capital.
The grandiose scheme was never successful and was dropped after a couple of years when the only passengers proved to be sheep and goats.
Part of the old line is now a cycle route called the Two Tunnels because, well I guess you can work it out for yourselves. It links Bath with some glorious countryside south of the city, and to another a cycle path which loops around to the Kennet & Avon canal linking Bath and Bradford on Avon. For anyone staying in Bath for a few days I’d thoroughly recommend bringing or hiring a bike for a morning or afternoon excursion.
