Content: The UK train network is split into different smaller franchises, which then have their own operators. This is confusing for both locals and visitors alike and causes significant regional disparities in levels of service, cleanliness, and price. Unfortunately, train travel in the UK is fairly expensive, especially when you buy tickets on the day of travel. Prices do vary between operator, however, there is usually only one operator on each route which limits your scope of saving money this way. You can limit the expense by buying tickets ahead of time. But ensure you get on the right train for your ticket to avoid any unexpected charges by not having the correct ticket.
