The British rail ticketing system is a Daliesque dog's breakfast definitely. Planning international multi-centre trips is not much better unless you're interrailing. New global rail ticketing brand Quno http://quno.com/ promises to improve it, we'll see, but I do hope so. Some more useful sites here too: http://joolsstone.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/8-great-sites-for-rail-trips/ Smart tips and lovely pics. Bookmarked! :-) Oo yes, I like this one.

And as for singles working out cheaper than a return, I totally beleieve that. Even if it's not the case, a return is usually only £1 more expensive that a single on its own Natalie This is a good site, I never would have thought about buying a ticket second hand from someone!

They had problems because of the snow too, although the services were only reduced, not cancelled. I got back from holiday yesterday and we had taken the Eurotrain, so we missed the trouble.

I know this because I once tried to resell my ticket and found a buyer...who was less interested in my ticket and more interested in who I was and whether I was authorised to resell the ticket. To cut a long story short...I learnt an extremely costly mistake! I also remember a story of a passenger who brought a ticket from someone on an online classified website and they got caught out as the ticket had a passenger name printed on it, the ticket inspector happened to ask for ID to prove it's their ticket and of course it wasn't.....
