Get your tickets for a journey .....

I have just bought a single ticket for the train to Yorkshire for three months' time. I can't buy the return ticket for another week as they only sell them at the cheaper price three months ahead. So I've got to ring back in seven days to buy the second instalment. Over the three months the price apparently climbs quite high so I do have to use this rather strange method to buy my tickets. It is all part of the fascinating world of the marketplace and us customers must play our part in the system. No wonder so many people decide to drive their car rather than use the train.
