    Has anyone done it?

    Southwest Trains: If you buy a peak day return ticket in the direction towards London; it is twice the cost of a peak day return in the direction from London.

    So, if the day return is purchased in advance, could you get away with travelling in the opposite direction and back again.?

          How could u buy a day return in advance. Surely the point of a day return is that u buy it on the day of travel?!

            You can get through the barriers. The only problem is if there's a ticket inspector on the train. Then you're fecked.

                If it's not the first train of the day how can they prove it's not your second leg?

                  errm, got me there!

                  I guess you need to remember to show the RTN ticket in the morning, and the OUT ticket in the evening.

                  Although the inspector will know by the price that's a day return and may ask you for the RTN ticket when you're travelling home.
