Winchester and Cheriton in July.
Thought I would start a seperate thread on this one,to highlight whether there was still some interest.From the discussion in April ,there seemed a bit of a move to consider a Friday trip.If it's a matter of throwing about a few dates,I would be OK for Friday July 1st .
It would be very useful to get trainmans input on rail fares ,which I know have been mentioned already on the Chichester thread.
Any other takers for 1st July ?
Feel free to chuck out other dates if this doesn't work.

I had a training course that day that has now been conveniantly cancelled so it's good for me. The going rate for an advance booking return from London seems to be £29.40.

Should be OK for July 1st.

Sorry, but - much to my disappointment - something unavoidable has come up on 1st of July... (Shame, though, as I was really looking forward to the Winchester outing.)

Well, I'm only a rail user rather than employee/expert but I do hate to pay too much!
First thing to note is that any travelling from London should try to arrange to do so as a group (4-for-2 on groupsave would halve the £29.40 open return which Roger mentions).
For those with lots of time, megatrain to Southampton is currently available at £4e/w, then £5.80 open rtn to Winchester (halved if in a group of 4), but doubling your journey time may not warrant the saving - certainly not if travelling as 4 from London.
Cheriton doesn't fall within the quite limited Winchester plusbus zone, so dunno how much that extra leg might be. Shame, as many plusbus schemes are reduced to £1.50 Jun/Jul and would also be subject to the 'half-price' aspect of groupsave.
For myself, I'd need some sharp upturn in fortune to make it, but never say never...!

£6.10 return, apparently.

I hope to be able to make it...
NB - If you have an 'all zones' Travelcard, the price of on off-peak return comes down to £21.40 from Boundary Zone 6 (or £14.15 with a railcard, but not until the 10:05 departure).

Greyhound coach from London (nr Victoria) dep 8.45 arr 10:20, £1 (one tkt only, I think).
Rtn on National Express, dep 20:25 arr 22:15, £6.50.

My maths was never a strong point but I make it 4 yes's and a maybe so far.
I will be going through Waterloo so I'll certianly muscle in with others to save a few quid on a Groupsave offer.
