probably easier to do all of the journeys as singles then it's less complicated

Trouble is singles are nearly as expensive as returns.

i have the same problem i need to be in london on friday so a single to london then to congleton friday night then home saturday. cant see how i can do it other then three single tickets even though as you say it's so much more expensive doing it that way

unless you buy a return from the place you are ending up in and returning home from and singles for the other journeys

I think you are right, I don't think I can do anything else other than get singles all over the place.

Can't help you with your particular journey but my dd travels from Lincoln to London and back regularly and always books single tickets because it works out cheaper.

It gets worse - there must be engineering works on that Sunday because 1 of the journeys is a bus then train then bus :(

Have you tried ringing the train help line and asking them the best route and value for money?

No I haven't. Think I should because this weekend away is getting to be more work than it's worth!
