Having had a few weeks off, the thought of doing a train journey for pleasure is not as daunting as it is when I'm travelling by train every work day!
So, a friend and I are going to meet in a mid-way town, with a charming Abbey church, and things to see and do this week.
The sensible thing, in the Japes mind, is to take the rare direct train from my dear little local station - which would be £19.00. Same price as the more frequent train route going via a smaller city to the north of the town. But, in my perusing of the train ticket site as I also need to go to small city next week, it occurred to me that checking two different tickets, one from here to small city, then one from small city to mid-way town. £7.10 each. £14.20 in total. £21.30 for my week's outings as opposed to £26.10.
Another small victory in the Japes' constant battle to keep travel costs to the minimum!
