Virgin is also relatively useful (http://www.virgintrains.co.uk/default.aspx) but be warned that the prices are NOT good until you're either 14 or 7 days in advance of travel.... If you book to far ahead the prices are totally ridiculous - the longer you wait, the cheaper it'll get.... I've had some extraordinary deals from them.

is that a single or return fare - we paid £56 each for London-Swansea-London last month (with First Great Western).

We actually stayed in Mumbles which is just outside Swansea - we've been there 3 times now, including when we got married and we love it there, beautiful coastline and scenery. Swansea seems a nice city but we have not spent much time there. Neath is cool too. We like the area so much we want to go and live there!

www.trainline.com is good.

Just a note - I think the site you  meant is actually www.trainline.co.uk.   I just clicked on the above link, and it's a site for the band Train - complete with very loud music that scared the bejesus out of me!
