Bristolatic 2,887 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I'm going, but only because it's 25 minutes by train from my nearest station. About 45 minutes in total. I must be mad. Link to post Share on other sites

JoeP 1,413 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I'm going to tick the ground off, visit some old haunts from when I lived down that way and have a pint or two of Tiny Rebel's non-fruity beers. Link to post Share on other sites
rudemedic 1,378 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Doesn't just apply to the over 50s either an adult return is £29. Booked via the Transport for Wales (TfW) App. Be warned though the trains are only a small step up from the bus on wheels Northern use. Plus they don't always have alcohol. Anyone getting a direct train from Manchester to Newport will do well to get a non TfW train. Link to post Share on other sites

Any chance you could send a link to adults tickets being £29? Don't worry if not, not even sure why I'm contemplating it! Link to post Share on other sites
JoeP 1,413 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Yeah, just got on the train at Crewe and it's standing room only. 2 coaches. £29 might not seem as good value if you have to stand for two and a half hours.. Link to post Share on other sites
