Savings appear to be best when you buy returns. Remember if you are buying on-line to collect your tickets from the station that you need to ensure that you have entered the correct station from which to pick up the tickets!

Not true. You can collect tickets from any station that has a pre-booked ticket collection machine. The reason you are asked to select a station when booking is to ensure you're not hoping to collect from somewhere that doesn't have this facility.

I often select Hereford (my home town) and end up picking the tickets up at Crewe if I find myself there with time to kill.

NB You MUST however collect your tickets BEFORE you commence your journey, not part way through it!

I saved £20 or so buying a return from Liverpool to Falkirk and then Falkirk to Alloa.

A small saving, but £2.50 saved by splitting Cambridge-Spalding at Ely

Full single £38.40. Rugby - Leicester £13.60. Leicester - Lincoln £14.50. Small saving but still worth it to travel on the same train.

cfc1900

Manchester to Lincoln using the Hope Valley line via Sheffield and then the local line via Retford and Worksop.
Manchester to Brinington £3
Brinington to Gainsborough Lea Road (change at Sheffield) £14.50
GLR to Lincoln £6
Total £23.50
Full single ticket price using same route £33.

Or just buy a 'London Midland only' ticket between Liverpool and London (no need to split tickets) - need to travel on slower LM trains and change at Crewe (or elsewhere).

Off-Peak Return - £43.
Super Off-Peak Return - £31.

Just to update to this mornings journey to London in 2017
All prices are with a 30% off Senior Railcard
Bristol to London Paddington is £25.40 single before 10:30am
£18:80 single after 10:40am
Return from London to Bristol, is £67:30 before 18:30
or £29.50 after 17:00
Paddington to Bristol is £29:50 after 18:45
So return fare is either £92:70 or £48:30

Booking to Paddington via Didcot Parkway (with no time restrictions on 'Peak Hour' Trains) between Paddington and Didcot
£15:85 to Didcot Parkway Return (leaving Bristol after 9:30am)
£16:95 to Didcot to Paddington Return
Total cost £32:80
Leaving Bristol before 09:30 the fare to Didcot jumps to £30:15 Return
Which is just cheaper than booking Bristol to Paddington Direct after 10:00

One thing to remember is that only every other train stops at Didcot, you do not have to get off the train, just the train MUST have STOPPED at the Station, to let passenger on and off.
