In the interes...And that's exactly the point!!<br /><br />In the interests of encouraging "intermediate" journeys, local (and cheaper) fares may be offered. However, through passengers may not take advantage of lots of local fares adding up to less than a through fare (unlike the railways, who do permit such shenanigans, and I take full advantage when they're available!!).<br /><br />Remember, all that matters is that each seat has at least one bum on it throughout the journey. If one bum travels from Plymouth to Taunton, and another bum from Taunton to Bristol, the result is still happiness for Uncle Brian.<br /><br />I'll be intrigued to see how fbb gets on, but one word of caution .... the first two weeks will be full of hiccups as drivers get to grips with something very new for them .... no amount of training can prepare for Joe Public!! Is that why the launch is relatively "soft" so far?greenline727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-69192569032903701482016-02-05T06:06:49.553+00:002016-02-05T06:06:49.553+00:00Something "weird" with fares is already ...Something "weird" with fares is already happening!<br /><br />Plymouth - Bristol is £22 single, but only £13.80 by splitting at Taunton.<br /><br />So, no travelling through on split tickets!Stuart Samuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638923842332251803noreply@blogger.com
