Again its that time of year when the railway companies put the fares up (after all you need to pay for my wages!) or issue new restrictions or even both.
You can buy the Fares “bible” directly from HMSO. All ticket inspectors use exactly the same bible to work out fares (it maybe on a PDA/Ticket Machine but the information is the same). There are 7 fares manuals. (NFM as they call them) and they are around 1000 A4 double sided pages big. Oh and boy are they heavy if you have to lug them around everyday.
The good thing about the fares manuals is its sometimes easier to work out cheaper routes (i.e. by buying a ticket to a station in the middle of your route and then another one to your original destination) using the book then online. The only catch is that each of these cost £15
Also there is a rail links manual, AKA plusbus which costs £8. Did you know that for a little extra (normally around £2) that you can add a bus ticket to your railway ticket and its unlimited travel? Doing it this way is normally a lot cheaper then the equivalent ‘day ticket’ on the bus. However please ask for plusbus at a booking office as ticket collectors on the train tend not to be able to issue plusbus tickets.
