Interestingly not in the case of railways the best value tickets are normally caused by cock ups in the pricing of tickets. e.g.

Chippenham to Didcot first class return £114
Didcot to Watford Junction ( via Paddington ) first class return £94.60
Total - £208.60 no changes required

Chippenham to Paddington first class return £256

saving £47.40 :D

Splitting tickets can often be away to get cheaper tickets

This is also true in the Airline industry but they have a solution :o

yes on railways its a case of finding the damned things. Permitted routes are the trick on railways. These are alternatives that have to be available for use . I have travelled for years on season tickets from castle carey ( via Chippenham ) to Paddington saving hundreds every moth. Only recently they mitigated that one by upgrading the castle carey normal route to be also high speed. So no real difference any more. :cry:
