    Buffy, do you have to change trains?
    Try pricing it by breaking up the journey and getting 2 or 3 tickets.

    I tried to do that with my journey on the same train (splitting) but my head started to hurt, I think I could have saved myself £10 but was worried that I hadnt worked it out properly and ended up on the wrong train.

    (this was one journey without changes)
