Hi

My daughter has asked me to find her the cheapest way to get to Ryde in the Isle of Wight from Bristol (Temple Meads if train). She wants to go on Monday 23rd July returning on Saturday 28th July. I am trying different options for her but if there are any experts out there who may be able to help it could save me a lot of time! Hope you can help.

Thanks

    Have a look at First Great Western's First Minute fares - from £16.30 each way. There's an hourly service from Temple Meads to Portsmouth for the ferry to Ryde - included in the fare.

    A quick look shows availability on both dates at a slightly higher price of £18.80 if you are not choosy about times.

    Lol :rotfl:Very good. Thanks for advice - that train fare did turn out to be the cheapest I could find for her - much cheaper and more convenient than coach and with ferry included not bad at all - although everything is too expensive for her (when it's her own money!)
