I use the trains for Uni and while they are mostly on time they are over priced for what they are. For instance, a return ticket to travel 40 miles in the same county costs £21.70 without a rail card and £14.35 with a railcard. Still overpriced somewhat. If you want to be clever though you can buy an open return and then use it for a whole month as long as you dissaude the ticket master from marking it. Or you can stay in the toilet when he comes round and unless he's got the memory of a super computer he won't notice that you have appeared on his way back. Some people try to be clever by getting through when the barriers are open but that shit doesn't really work as when the barriers are open there are inspectors on the train and when they are closed you are limited to the stations without barriers that you can get off at.
