An Anytime Day Return from Aberdare to Ebbw Vale Town is £8.30. An Anytime Day Return from Aberdare to Newport is £13.30. From Monday 29th January, when the Ebbw Vale to Newport service (finally) starts, the TfW website allows me to buy, giving me times and routes, an Anytime Day Return from Aberdare to Ebbw Vale Town for the usual £8.30 even if I put in 'via Newport' as an option. Does this mean that if I wanted to go to Newport I could just buy a cheaper ticket to Ebbw Vale and cut short my journey at Newport? If that's the case, could I do that everyday, buying a weekly season ticket between Aberdare and Ebbw Vale for £29.10 rather than paying £56.60 for a weekly ticket between Aberdare and Newport? It's a fair old saving. Something tells me the ticket barriers/gateline staff might not like/accept it.
