In this topic I answer all your ticket advice questions.
You are far more likely to save money if you are making a longer-distance journey on the same day.
Here is an example:-

Example £14 saving said:Cheapest ticket combination for York to London All Zones, day return.
York station will say such a ticket does not exist so buy York to London Terminals (Saver usually), and an All Zones travelcard from King's Cross. With a Y-P that comes to £45+5=£50ish.
But if you buy York to Grantham, and an All Zones travelcard from Grantham, the cost drops to only £17+£19=£36!
A saving of £14. The first train you can get Mon-Fri is the same (0939), on Saturdays/Sundays any time. You must call at Grantham (changing at Doncaster if need be), but the 0939 does call there as do others.
I save £14 each time I go to London. I would not go if it was £50.
Don't ask for the cheapest Wick to Penzance combination though - as such journeys are not possible in a day, and a through ticket for a very long distance will actually be cheaper.
