Content: The total, £67, saves £15. This is because non-London fares tend to be at a cheaper rate per mile than those into London itself. 4. WINCHESTER-LONDON
A Network Railcard gives 34% off fares after 1000, but if you need to go to town earlier, there's no discount on the £43.40 standard day return. So buy a single (without your railcard) at £23 and then ask for a London to Winchester single WITH your railcard for the homeward journey (or buy it in London) at £15.20. Total £38.20, saving £5.20. 5. LONDON-MANCHESTER
To get to Manchester from London early, the only throughout return fare is the open return at £219. The train's first stop is Stoke-on-Trent so you can't split it into short sections. Instead, buy an open return to Stoke-on-Trent (£182) then a saver return Stoke to Manchester (£12.30).
