It’s a way to increase prices, again.
30-day return tickets will be deemed “flexible” single ticket, thus big premium, with exact return date/time being the usual rip off single ticket pricing.Leave a comment:

“Return rail tickets to be scrapped
Major reform set as Transport Secretary also commits to Boris Johnson's Great British Railways, a new public body
Return tickets are set to be scrapped as Rishi Sunak gives the green light to long-awaited sweeping reforms of Britain’s railways.
Mark Harper, the Transport Secretary, will next week announce plans for new ticketing arrangements as he outlines how the Government will address a crisis on the railways.
The rollout of "single-leg pricing" will be unveiled, The Sunday Telegraph has been told.
It means that two singles will equal a return – making return tickets redundant – having proved a success during trials with passengers. “
