Railcard discounts also apply on sale prices
Perhaps it would be beneficial for us to compile a list of LM-priced flows so that people who would otherwise make a similar journey but priced by a different operator can make a saving.
There are 91311 combinations of origins/destinations priced by LM. I have placed a spreadsheet of them all at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43630892/lm.xlsx
Note that although individual London stations are shown, the ticket would be to London Terminals so may not be valid to the individual station.
Does that mean i could buy a Virgin ticket on LM website and still get it half price or is it just for LM trains?
Because from what i can see on the T&C its just for LM services.

The spreadsheet is excellent but when I try Reading to stations on the Bedford-Bletchley line, Aberystwyth to Hanborough/the midlands and similarly from Banbury the sale website doesn't offer the 50% discount. Is there something that means these flows are exempted from the promotion?
Once again, "new" Redspottedhanky accounts can get a free £10 e-voucher. Simply register here and enter the voucher code "RshTel10A" into the "Saturday Telegraph £10 offer" box.
I know that technically it's against the terms of the promotion to register with more than one email address to get multiple e-Vouchers but is there anything legally wrong with doing so? I've seen people on another site describe registering multiple emails as tantamount to fraud and would be interested to know how others view it.

The RSH promotions have not all had the same T&Cs, so what was acceptable for one promotion may not be for another. This time it did say one per customer.
I imagine RSH could charge you the full amount for your ticket if the same person has tried to use multiple vouchers. I've heard about Love Film doing this when the same household has tried to claim two free trials through posts on Money Saving Expert.
How are they going to know, if you use different email addresses, and they don't ask for any other identifying info, apart from a post code (which you can enter any one), and a name which you can fake?
Matching credit card details?
IP adress. I know it isn't definitive proof, but it could raise suspicion. I'm sure if an effort was made then the evidence could be gathered.How are they going to know, if you use different email addresses, and they don't ask for any other identifying info, apart from a post code (which you can enter any one), and a name which you can fake?

As for the legal consequences, if you used more vouchers than you were entitled to, could a prosecution be bought for deliberately failing to pay the correct fare?
I don't know because I'm not that technically minded. The other thing I wonder about is the delivery method. If you use TOD, you will have to specify a card, if you use the post you will have to specify an address. Duplications of either of these could raise suspicions.Could that also be the case if someone used Mobile broadband which gives a New IP address each time you use it.
My understanding is that they booked online and weren't able to collect the tickets.

Very helpful station staff told me the message was :

oops shouldve gone in the cheap fares thread.. Also i done a search but didnt find any other thread
Got one of the Chiltern tickets.
Shame it wouldn't let me get a Birmingham Plusbus to go with it (said there were no delivery options for it, presumably as the 50p ticket is a print-at-home job).
Would I be able to get one on the day?
