【2013英國自助旅行】12. 英國交通票券大解密!!X檔案!!

1.     Combined ticket information :
簡單的說,所謂的combined ticket(結合式票券)就是把交通票和入場券結合在一起購買,通常是較為省錢的做法!!不過,"通常"的字眼意味著可能會有特別的情況發生!!在這時候,我們都會詢問站務人員,請他們試算(英國的服務人員都挺不錯的,會幫你算到划算的價格組合)。我們這次在Fetham車站,就是發現在網路上查到的資訊,和站務大嬸提供的資訊有所出入!!最後還是採納了站務大嬸的建議!!!事實上不採納也不行,哈哈,因為她也不讓你買別種票!!
       
       因為我們要坐火車到Windsor castle(溫莎堡),溫莎堡是要門票的!!所以我們就直接買了火車票結合溫莎堡門票的Combined ticket。但那時在Fetham火車站出了一個小問題!!就是我們所認定的尖峰時刻(Peak)有所錯誤!!!站務人員更正我們之後,導致我們要在Fetham車站停留一個多小時!!!但也沒辦法!!都遇上啦~~幸好車站後面的大賣場在這麼一大清早有營業!!!我們還能去那逛逛補充糧食!!

b.        資訊 Information : Find out how much you can save when you buy a combined rail and entry ticket to Windsor Castle. Just add the combined ticket price in bold to the cost of your rail ticket to Windsor & Eton Riverside or Windsor & Eton Central. You can find the cost of your rail ticket by using our online journey planner.
You can buy combined rail and entry tickets from our Customer Service Centre or from any staffed train station. Make sure you buy your combined rail and entry ticket before you get to Windsor as Windsor Castle only sell you entry at the 'on gate' price.
You can get your Joint Ticket from any staffed train station or from South West Trains Customer Service Centre. Just ask about the Joint Ticket and enjoy the savings. 
Tickets may be purchased in advance or on the day of travel.

If you arrive at Windsor Castle with rail only tickets, you will need to pay the full public admission price.

Combined ticket price

Adult
£17.75
£14.65*
£3.10



* Prices excludes rail travel to/from Windsor & Eton Riverside or Windsor Central

     以我們的例子來說!!一個成人火車票單買加上門票單買,總共要花上17.75英鎊!!但購買Combined ticket的話就可以省下3.1英鎊囉!!!

The Cotswolds Discoverer (Cotswold交通無限卡) information:(我們最後沒有購買此種票券)
a.    購買三張無限卡 (3 days, adult, £25),用於8/6~8/8使用。
b.   Train ticket : Moreton-in-Marsh to Oxford (return) & Bus
c.    The Cotsolds Discover website
d.   Information: The Cotswolds Discoverer - it's just the ticket!
The Cotswolds Discoverer ticket is the perfect and hassle (困難、麻煩)-free way to travel around and explore some of the most scenic parts of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty by bus and by train.
With either a one-day or three-day ticket offering unlimited* travel, you can visit a wide range of attractions, towns and villages including gardens, historic buildings, picture-postcard villages and have plenty of opportunities to explore one of the finest landscapes in England.
*not valid on rail services before 08:50, Mondays to Fridays
e.    網友使用經驗
我打算從Oxford進出Moreton-in-Marsh似乎蠻適合買這個$10ticket
這次去Cotswold有用 Cotswold Discoverer Pass. Oxford車站買. 他會給你兩張車票一張是坐火車(Oxford - Morenton)另一張是坐公車用的公車這張要寫上日期上公車時把兩張都給司機看就行了.當天我從Meronton 去了 Stow-on-the-wold Bourton-on-the-water. 這個pass滿划算的, 因為從OxfordMoreton火車就要GBD9. 等於公車一天只要GBD1.
