Well done, but why 1-4, and not 1-2?
Because for some odd reason it was cheaper to do it 1-4 than 1-2.

I seem to remember that it worked out cheapest to maximise the travelcard
part.


I used to work out which combination was cheapest and it doesn't work out
for all stations and/or rail companies, and often the changeover point was
different each year.

This year cheapest is to Z4 and saves £332 from Potters Bar. If you're in
Welham Green it saves £472. All combinations are cheaper than the off the
shelf ticket (although there is the caveat that the train must stop where
the ticket changes over - less of a problem from Welham Green where the
train is all stops anyhow).


Sure? Doesn't the ticket being a season negate the requirement for an actual
stop at the changeover point?
