Saved me ~20% on Milton keynes to wakefield
which is for work and so your tax money.
And you just prebook and type in the code at the machine, it just means more printing not that much longer.

I can save you even more
Don't go to Wakefield. It's grim.

Cheapest tickets are from kings cross, so I just walk from Euston and get that.

hang on
it says that is for "walk-on" tickets only, you can't prebook.

If you were going prebook you could get a saver fare and save a cockload more than that will ever manage. You chobber.

Yes, but it tells you where to split the tickets.
Go to national rail and get those tickets as saver tickets and bobs your uncle. Got the trip for under £100 peak times by faffing about, where as just booking ahead would be £160ish

ah, I see
however, you've now got a load of seat reservations in random parts of the same train though, right?

Yeah, I'll just ignore them. The train is always really empty because it's such a rip off.

Still worth it to save a packet though surely?
Unless you get some cunt sitting in your seat who refuses to move. I hate that.

meh, I dunno
one change of seat, maybe.

I'm just not sure I can be arsed. Not that it doesn't make it a cunning plan if you use it like rape-eyes does, of course

although, I would suggest
you haven't saved the taxpayer money, as the taxpayer paid for the time you spent cocking around doing it.

but i could see the advantage from a personal travel point of view. Although it'd have to be a hell of a lot more than a £60 saving for me to be arsed with the fannying I think.

There's three of us travelling, and it took me say half an hour.
I'm not that expensive.
