Just do what we normally do, book the cheapest one that's running that day and jump on the trian you want to catch. Technically you have a valid ticket for the route your on, just not the right time train :ayatollah:
We did it all the way to Doncaster last season!! :D Saved a fortune :D

That's great until you get a jobsworth guard who eitehr looks for you to stumo up the full fare or calls in the BTP and you get lifted!

You're ticket is only valid for the service you are booked on.
