Lostock to Lostock Hall.
For £18.80, you can get an OP Single from Lostock Gralam to Lostock Hall, calling along the way at Lostock.Lostock to Lostock Hall.
Or St Ives to St Ives Cambridge Busway - though there are no through fares!Before 1970, what about St Ives (Cornwall) to St Ives (Cambridge)?
I've also heard a story from quite a few years ago which is someone asking for an reprint of a worn out or demagged annual season between Edinburgh and Charing Cross and getting presented with nine months of unlimited travel between Edinburgh and London Terminals. Tempting you would think, but not much use for getting to work in Glasgow every day.
Why not?Exeter to Uttoxeter presumably no longer possible.
I assumed, in my ignorance, that Uttoxeter was long closed.Why not?

And for English speakers, there is always the option of a trip to Hell in Norway - however the German one is better as it makes sense in its own language.
I used to buy a ticket from Three Oaks to Four Oaks to do a journey from Birmingham to Ashford (Int’l) as it was the same price. Didn’t travel via Sevenoaks though as the route included travel on HS1.Three Oaks to Four Oaks, travelling via Sevenoaks.
Realistically, would anyone make that journey? Even by DLR it's sometimes quicker to walk.Stratford to Stratford International
The customer was not actually accused of fare evasion in this case; reporting someone for suspected fare evasion would require recording their details and passing these onto the prosecutions department.I've never thought of that but it sounds like a good idea. It would be harder for the guard to accuse me of attempted fare evasion if I have deliberately sought them and attempted to explain the situation.
In the situation described there is a risk of a breach of not just contract law but also consumer law.Causing it to breach a contract, perhaps, and only if they’re telling the truth.
Walking to Southampton or Northampton from Hampton is a long way!Southampton to Northampton is a longer journey than some might expect. There was a story recently about a traveller in London who found he/she had just missed a bus to Southampton. Rather charmingly this person saw a bus to Northampton departing soon after and caught it on the basis he/she could get off when it reached Hampton and walk the rest of the way.
Bridgend!One that comes to mind is Davenport (Cheshire/Greater Manchester) to Devonport (Devon).
Also a tripartite possibility of Springfield (Fife), Springburn (Glasgow), and Spring Road (Birmingham).
One I have thought about for Welsh speakers here: Pen-y-Bont (Powys/ former London & North Western Railway section of the Heart of Wales line) to Pen-y-Bont (Mid Glamorgan/ former Great Western Railway South Wales Main Line). Can anybody guess the Mid Glamorgan one?
And will be again in the future if they stick to what I understamd the plan to be
