Public transport

Post by Mooncat »

I want to attend the Big Green Home Show at Swindon. I would normally go by Arriva trains Wales from Carmarthen to Bristol or Gloucester. However, there is a strike scheduled for the day I would travel, bus and coach alternatives take far too long. I may have to go a day earlier to get a train! ::b
I started out with nothing, I still have most of it.

Get onto social edia and ask if there's anyone else heading that way - you might even get enough interest to make hiring a car cheaper than using public transport.

I always see adverts for this, maybe worth a look? https://www.blablacar.co.uk/

Isn't there a First Great Western service from Carmarthen straight through Swindon?
