In today's 'the UK is a totally normal country', I got 12 pieces of cardboard for a journey from Bristol to York and back. #trains

Can I raise you slightly.🙂
23 tickets for a journey from Bristol to Abergavenny and back in March 2023.
2 people, 2 bikes, so separate tickets needed for the bikes...🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚈
@tpuddle who knew that the secret to cheaper train fares was a cascade of cardboard train tickets. 🤷‍♂️
@nickpiggott
I'm guessing that yours are split tickets. But ours were just routine; change at Newport, but also with seat reservations (I think).
But the bikes each needed a ticket for themselves, plus a ticket for their owner, for each of the sections...🤣
@tpuddle yes, split tickets to cut the cost from £144 to £100. In recent contrast, I did a similar 4 hour journey in noticeably more comfort across Germany for £80 return. One just the one digital ticket.
