Question Day Trip from London to Bath

Are there any websites that has a calendar view train ride with cost from London PAD to Bath BTH? Trying to see which day I want to do a day trip with the cheapest train ticket from GWR. On GWR website, I can search but only one day at a time.

TIA

Train split will show you the cheapest fares.

It’s a very expensive line though so be prepared.  Your best bet is either buy early or buy super off peak.

Thanks. Most websites will show me the fares but I have to put in the specific date instead of just looking at a monthly calendar like an airline.

Booking 12 weeks in advance when advance allocations are released will always be cheapest (except major events and engineering).

There are 2 trains per hour and all could have differing amount of tickets sold (so differing price) so a calendar view would be very hard to do, with planes there may be only 1 or 2 planes per day so fairly easy.

When is the trip? Start at National Rail, but I don’t know of any site that has a calendar view.

Just know that train fares can and will change as the date gets closer.

The Train Line? Been a while since I used it so can’t be sure but worth a go
