    I just tried doing this for my day return from London to Carlisle. It looked like it might be cheaper, but I lost the will to live and gave up, so congratulations on seeing it through.

      That's what gets you in the end, you get frustrated and just buy the one ticket.

      It should not be like this...

        Made it...

        Edinburgh to Cambridge £24, same train most of the way as my previous £240 fare.

        Was not challenged once yet my more expensive ticket always got the conductor up in arms cause the Scot Executive package was not recognised.

          Funny this, it's perfectly acceptable to do this with a train ticket, but when one uses similarly legal means to mitigate their tax bill...

            Aren't there message boards where people who get off on doing this kind of thing could help you out?

              As for a plan B - I can't be ar£$D it took me 3 hours to suss out one route alone, how many possible journeys are there in the UK???
              Not that many combinations actually - presumably it would work like a autoroute/sat nav to determine the route and then get all the possible prices. There are only a few high speed lines
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!
