another top tip; when your booking 12 weeks in advance. check !st class for your journey. because like standard class it has a raising ticket pricing structure, but 1st class sell more slowly so standard class may have sold out a couple of tiers of discounted tickets and they are now more expensive than the slower selling 1st class tickets. Daft but true and when it happens the free stuff they give you in 1st class is all the sweeter.

If you have a railcard here is the trick: During morning peak train from Euston to Watford Jn will cost less if you use Oyster. (£8.3 v £10.2) The same holds true during the offpeak. (£3.5 v £6.75) However, there is no evening peak on the National Rail network, but there is one on the TfL, so between 16 and 19 on the weekdays Anytime Single ticket costs less (£6.75 v £8.3). Does it make sense? No. Can you save enough money for a cup of coffee by knowing that? Yes

Thank you for the great tip with trainline. I'm going to travel from Edinburgh to Inverness in December, and I saw prices at about up to 45 pounds one-way, but because of the booking in Advance, I just pay 5 pounds, thats brilliant!

I am really shocked how expansive train travelling is in the UK! I mean, tickets of Deutsche Bahn (German rail) are far from being cheap but they are not *that* expansive.

It's because the fare structure is ridiculous and our Department for Transport are so inefficient at maintaining the rails that they charge train operating companies ridiculous amounts to access them. The DfT also control most ticket prices too, except for advance fares and some off-peak fares, which can be hundreds of pounds cheaper than the walk-up fare

There is a reason for it in fairness. Its to do with limiting costs for travel within your county/region. Travelling from one of these rail regions to another is more expensive than a journey within the region, to try and keep local travel affordable and rip off people for the longer journeys. But some stations are on the border of these regions and therefore count as both, and by splitting there, you end up not having to pay for crossing one of these region boundaries

Or you can just buy a ticket and use what’s technically an invalid route! Leeds to Sheffield (Not Doncaster) is £12:30 off peak. Doesn’t say you can’t go via Manchester with it as I’ve done quite a few times! When XC services arrive at Sheffield the conductors nearly always say ‘change here for stations to Manchester and Nottingham!’

In a system with plain transparent prices the person at the ticket counter wouldn't have to fool around with split tickets in the first place. In most countries, ticket prices rise degressively with the distance covered - so saving money by split tickets appears to be a pretty British thing - I never heard about this before...

The Government thinks rising rail costs is a good way for railway companies to make money. But that's not the case because rising rail costs price people off railways. What the Government should actually do is to lower the rail costs. This way, more people will live in the UK due to the Government lowering rail costs and passengers are saving more money while railway companies make more money. This might sound like a lie, but railway companies will actually make money due to lowered costs though they think they'll lose money. Discomfort is saving lives.

Blindly adopting such a system will be a disaster. Maybe IR can allot individual express trains to interested operators, control general unreserved ticket price and leave reservation ticket prices up to the market with a formula to distribute the proceeds from ticket sales between the operator and IR.

Kings Cross Thameslink existed from when Thameslink opened in the late 1980s until 2007 when St Pancras was redeveloped to take High Speed 1 services. It was far away from the actual kings Cross mainline and underground station so was inconvenient, so it was replaced by St Pancras Thameslink which integrated with the redeveloped station and had much quicker interchanges with mainline at St Pancras and Kings Cross as well as Kings Cross St Pancras underground station

The coach is run parallel to only a small percentage of rail lines, and many coach services operate to where there's no train service. So in most cases it's either the extortionate rail journey or the painfully long bus journey, or you may even have no choice and only the bus serves your area.
