    Have you read MSE's Cheap Train Tickets article?

    There is a video in there which explains clearly how to do split ticketing.
    Be warned however, split ticketing does not always produce the desired results, and it may well be a lot of work.

    What fares have you found for your trip?
    Do you hold any railcards?
    How many people travelling? Adults? Children?

    One easy split:

    Boston to Nottingham £22 off peak return

    Nottingham to Cardiff £65.40 off peak return

    Through ticket is £110 off peak return

    All walkon tickets - no need to book

    You can save a small amount (and lose flexibility) by getting advance singles at £30.50 each way from Nottinghan to Cardiff - these have to be booked ahead and can only be used on the train booked.

    Easy.

    Cardiff to London
    London Heathrow to New York JFK
    New York to Boston

    :)

    Well, you didn't specify which Boston did you! There's several to choose from. ;)
