Splitting tickets can often be away to get cheaper tickets

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

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:
