Dare I look this up on urban dictionary from client site?
- Given a train journey that passes through stations A, B, and C:
- Ticket from A → C costs x
- Ticket from A → B costs y
- Ticket from B → C costs z
if y + z < x, then get the tickets for A → B and B → C.
The only restriction is that the train on which you travel must stop at B. They don't actually force you to get off and on again thoughComment

Originally posted by vwdan View PostIt does work, but you need to be careful of the rules. I did it for a week on Open Tickets but got a train which didn't stop at Coventry (The split station).
The guard was alright with me, but did make it clear they should have charged me.
I guess its because you're getting off and station and then getting back on same train in effect. Even though you dont actually do it- so if it doesnt even stop then you're on an invalid train for 2nd part of the journey.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
