Block booking train journeys?

Skyhigh

A couple of years ago someone I met mentioned that you can "block book" train travel and get a minor saving.

For example, 10 journeys for the price of 8.
Assuming you're travelling the same route.
Valid for 6/12 months or such.

Does this still exist as an option anywhere?
What's the terminology for it?

I've tried Googling, but frustratingly as I can't remember the special name for the ticket they used, it's eluding me.

I'm pretty sure this was legit as I looked it up at the time - I just can't seem to find any references now. :-/

I'm very aware of split tickets and booking earlier, etc, etc, but if such a ticket does exist and is available - it'd be useful for certain situations.

Typical, seconds after posting but after a long time searching:
carnet

And if anyone else wanted to also find LNER Carnet info, here it is:

Although whether this is cheaper than just pre-booking any how, we'll see.

Not all companies offer carnet tickets. This site has a drop down with a list

Note: Do NOT buy through Trainline as they charge a fee easily avoided by booking direct with the train company.

Also if on a paper carnet take care to unambiguously write the date on the ticket with a pen that does not smudge.
