train tickets

[missacs1984]

i'm wanting to go from carlisle to exeter one way, but the tickets are over 100 pounds and i can't afford this. i have however found out that if you buy the tickets carlisle-manchester, manchester-birminham, birmingham-exeter, it costs 44 pounds. the carlisle-manchester, manchester-birmingham is actually the same train. the carlisle train gets to manchester at 10.27 and leaves for birmingham again. however a carlisle - birminham ticket is 25 pounds. if i bought a carlisle-manchester and a manchester-birmigham ticket seperately, can i just stay on the train or will the conductor tell me off? i mean ive bought the tickets, just seperately rather than the whole journey. hope this isn't too confusing!

You can always use a series of tickets to make up a single journey as long as the train stops at the start and end of each sector for which you hold a ticket.

For example, someone travelling from Edinburgh to Kings Cross can use two tickets, permitting travel from Edinburgh to Doncaster and from Doncaster to Kings Cross, as long as the train stops at Doncaster. (If it doesn't, the ticket combination is not valid for travel).

The Advance Single fare is �63 - if you can book far enough ahead.

Look for a daysaver return ticket, they are usually cheaper than a one way.
Just dont go back.
