I don't have the nerve to book these at a ticket office, still less ask at which stations I should split the journey ! Having said that, train conductors seem quite relaxed if you present all three tickets at one time.<br /><br />NMcBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05494964262745285249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-8244460298211730372012-12-16T22:11:56.258+00:002012-12-16T22:11:56.258+00:00True, but it doesn't sell tickets with company...True, but it doesn't sell tickets with company specific discounts; useful for we elderly pensioners stuggling on fixed incomes (?).

(Don't ask me how I know this ! ). I'm surprised you think it will take them a couple of half days to meet your needs.NMcBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05494964262745285249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-69969499374154969352012-12-16T06:56:07.834+00:002012-12-16T06:56:07.834+00:00"because he wants to book rail tickets for a ..."because he wants to book rail tickets for a trips in January and February.
