Hedgewizard 🐈UK rail travel is one of the things that gets harder for an expat like myself to navigate each time I visit the country (which is not often).
1985 - "Two off-peak to Doncaster please." Costs two bob ha'penny but apparently the Conservatives are unhappy about it.
1995 - Consult many timetables or approach wizard in ticket office. Expensive but apparently price will come down soon because of privatisation.
2005 - You now have to 'split' your journey to avoid being ripped off and ticket office staff will not explain this. Try to figure it out online. Travel with reams of printed tickets. Empty your wallet.
2015 - Ticket offices mostly gone. Multiple 'journey splitter' services, each telling you different things. Tickets now on phone, so pray your battery lasts. Mortgage required.
