    Just come back home to Huddersfield from Bournemouth having made big savings by split ticketing.
    This is all with a Young Person's Railcard by the way.

    Saver Return: £62.85

    Huddersfield to Bournemouth - Single: £10.55
    Bournemouth to Manchester Piccadilly - Single: £9.90
    Manchester Piccadilly to Huddersfield - Single: £5.70
    Total cost: £26.15, saving of £36.70 (58%)
  • Liverpool (Wavertree) to Manchester - £12.70 Return

    Liverpool (Wavertree) to Newton le Willows - £4.50 Return
    Newton le Willows to Manchester - £6.20 Return
    TOTAL: £10.70.

    Only saves £2 but I have to do this every day, saves me £10 a week, over £500 a year.

    If you can book in advance you would be better off getting value singles than ****ing about with split tickets. You should be able to get them for the complete journey.

    If not, split at Birmingham New Street, Cheltenham and Bristol - possibly Parkway rather than Temple Meads.
  • Succefully booked split tickets from Preston to Torquay for 2 people for £103 instead of the £200 odd it would have cost to buy standard tickets!

    Did this as a result of reading the MSE article!

    Quite chuffed with myself as it was for a present so saved a lot of money for ourselves!!!!

    I regularly travel to Glasgow on business.
    First I have to get to Crewe on a local train, then I get a Standard Class ticket upto Preston costing £9, then I get a First Class ticket from Preston the rest of the way to Glasgow for £21.
    The return is even better, Glasgow to Preston can be as little as £29 First Class. Well worth it.
    I usually book via virgintrains.com
    First Class gets you free drinks, and snacks, if you get the later trains back, you can get a meal aswell as lots of drinks (including alcohol), although the price rises to about £39.
