Duplicate of Boarding a train in the UK at a later calling station, on an advanced purchase (train specific) ticket | |
| Dec 12, 2018 at 16:21 | comment | added | David Richerby | @Harper This question is about a one-way journey and the other is about a two-way journey. You're claiming that it's not a duplicate because of that. I'm saying that it is a duplicate, because this question asks about Y and the other question asks about X and Y, so covers everything that's needed here. | |
| Dec 12, 2018 at 15:53 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | @DavidRicherby I did not see anything from OP indicating this is a round trip. I still don't. Maybe there's a "term of art" or UK English idiom I am missing. | |

| Dec 12, 2018 at 14:32 | comment | added | David Richerby | @Harper The other question ends also asks about the return journey, getting on at $desirable on a ticket from $bumblebutt back to $origin, which is the case being asked about here. Also, train tickets don't get cancelled if you don't show up for part of the journey. There might not even be a ticket check on the train you use, so there'd be no way of knowing that somebody didn't use their outward ticket. | |

| Dec 11, 2018 at 19:03 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | @George that's different, that's "hidden city ticketing", where you get a sweet pricing deal on a ticket from $origin via $desirable to $bumblebutt, (which is priced cheaper than $origin-$desirable for marketing or subsidy reasons), then abscond at $desirable. Airlines don't like this (not least, it disrupts their agreements with subsidizers), and will cancel your entire return trip when they catch you. Railways don't like it either. | |

Emphasised in header that it is an advanced ticket, minor clean up on spelling and tags.
