jamamafegan Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) On the Scotrail website new booking system: Aberdeen - Glasgow QS, £56 off-peak return. Aberdeen - Paisley GS, £71 off-peak return. Scamming ****ing b*****ds. £15 for the Glasgow to Paisley part is it? My arse. You should use National Rail, they are usually much cheaper. But yeah, train fares are a sick joke these days. Edited November 30, 2012 by jamamafegan4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Try splitting the tickets, Return Abdn Glasgow, Return Glasgow-Paisley Aye that's what I normally do with these things because I know what they're up to. It's just ridiculous how these guys try and scam people who assume that getting it in one ticket will be cheaper. If I jumped on a bus from Aberdeen to Inverness and bought the one ticket however, it's cheaper than buying Aberdeen - Keith and a separate Keith - Inverness. I've complained to Scotrail about this in the past. All they said was that such incidents occur in a few cases and that they were redesigning their ticketing and booking structure. Bollocks, i) these scams are pretty commonplace and ii) the new system's not changed a thing with regards to all-in-one tickets. ... and that's got nothing to do with the prices in general. It's the additional scamming on top of that which is infuriating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Martin Lewis' website (the money saving expert guy) has an app on his site called tickety split. You tell it where you want to go and where from and it will search for split tickets. It doesn't cover every single journey in the UK, but it's worth a look. Just Google Martin Lewis or moneysavingexpert. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Google Martin Lewis or moneysavingexpert. Looks very useful as a guide, but leaves you a bit of work to check if returns or singles, advance tickets etc are cheaper.. Also, sometimes 2 or more splits can save you more, which this site does not offer. http://splitticket.m...avingexpert.com Edited November 30, 2012 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking the piss out of Gareth all day, chatting up Dawn, avoiding David Brent (apart from when he's dancing obviously).

I won't mention nurses that do their shopping after their shift, leaning over the shelves while wearing their uniform.

Dee Man Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Dicks at the bookies who put their football coupons on right at the rack where the coupons are kept meaning you have to stretch round them to get your own coupon. Dicks at the bookies who fill out football coupons and then just leave them lying about meaning there are none of the coupons left that you are looking for because these dicks have spoiled them all. Dicks at the bookies who seem to be the beneficiaries of some unwritten rule where they can skip to the front of the queue because they've left it til 5 seconds before their dog/horse race starts to put their line on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
