Going one day, returning the next

[MattRobinson]

Hi,

I am a regular volunteer at the KWVR, and often go by public transport. I am planning on starting to stay in their accomodation block so that I can do some turns that I otherwise would struggle to do (catching early train JUST gets me there on time = problems if delayed!).

Just wondering the best way to buy tickets from Sandal & Agbrigg station to Keighley station, setting off one day and returning either the next day or the day after? 2x singles? Or is there some cheaper way of buying a return spread accross 2/3 days? (Does one even exist?).

Cheers,
Matt

Edit to add: (1) I have a 16-25 railcard; and, (2) I would be travelling in the afternoon/ evening SNA - KEI and either next evening KEI - SNA or mid morning the day after.

Unfortunately the only fares available are Day returns.

A single is £4.80 (£3.15 if you hold a 16-25 Railcard*)

(* Discount not available September-June inclusive on weekdays before 1000)

That's a pity, but does confirm that I'll have to just use 2 singles. Cheers.

No problem

Sometimes buying "over distance" and starting/finishing short can reduce the price, but that doesn't work in this case.

Services that Northern operate generally only have day returns for short journeys, although there are exceptions.
