Do you do split ticketing? Not that there's a guarantee that the trains will be running, of course.

warning of engineering work and buses so nightmare. will prob drive but leave v early. public transport should be affordable otherwise all this net zero stuff is total shite!

Is £57 return from somewhere in berkshire (guessing by username here) really that bad? 28.50 each for each way .
There are plenty of rip off train fares about, but is this really one of them. Think it's also a bit unfair to compare purely with petrol cost. That's far from the only cost involved in owning a car.

We've spent $231.51 for Chester to Cardiff in November for two adults one child no return.

It still hurts but a longer bus and a more expensive car rental were still shittier options.

Looking at a couple of Saturdays in November, there are tickets available for just over £20 reading to Cardiff and about £14 back

As has been suggested upthread. Worth looking at ticket split or another split ticketing site

At least they’re taking dollars.

we've got senior railcards and this cost was net with those. will prob drive to Lisvane and get the train in. car gives more flex but will look at spli ticketing for other games.
