| A very inconsequential chat: Nailsea & Backwell to Bath Spa, return, today Posted by Chris from Nailsea at 22:55, 26th March 2026 |     |
My wife and daughter (neither of whom are particularly experienced in 'the ways of the railways') chose to travel by train for this leisure day out today.
I offered them my advice about 'through trains' and 'off-peak ticket prices' - for which they were grateful.
They apparently had a grand day out, having shopped around Bath and enjoyed lunch, then returned home happy.
Off-peak ticket price was £10.60 each. I regard that as a bargain, compared with the costs of running a car and parking anywhere in Bath for such an occasional excursion.
CfN.

Missed them in Bath (but then not sure if I would recognise them or they would recognise Lisa and me).
We went in by bus ... and noted with some pleasure that in some parts of the city there seem to be more buses than cars around - has to be a good thing to help reduce congestion, though the bus station was crowded to the extent that we had to push our way through to get to the waiting area near the bay that the 271/2/3 leave from.
