    I can't help as such, except to tell you that going from Oxford to Bath it is much cheaper to change at Didcot rather than Reading (though there are fewer changes). I assume this might apply from Worcester also (though there could well be a more direct route).

    hi

    There are direct trains to Bath from Worcester but i was hoping that there are still some "buy 4 pay for 2" offers etc still on somewhere

    thanks

    I don't think individually you will beat the cheap day return at £14 a head but groupsave applies - 4 for the price of 2, off-peak.

    I don't think there are through trains - if there are it's the odd one only as the main service from Worcester goes to Taunton.

    You can use any railcard you are entitled to have but it won't beat groupsave.

    £14 is the Cheap day return price, so with Groupsave four people travel for £28. Don't forget it needs to be booked at least 7 days in advance.

    Hi

    that sounds fantastic

    if we decide to stay over does this work for next day returns as well or is it just day returns

    thanks in advance

    £21 each (£42 for 4) if you want to come back the next day.
