check (I'm not on line at the moment, so can't). Also look into the
Anglia Ranger, or whatever it's called now, which is valid from
Cambridge to Norwich and puts a cap on off-peak fares.

The Anglia Ranger/Rover thingie is a day ticket (ten quid I think) so
would be ideal if you weren't staying the night in Norwich. But if you
are, it may not help much. There was talk of a five quid print-your-own
online fare from Cambridge to Liverpool St (or maybe Tottenham Hale in
your case).

Print@Home tickets - see https://www.printtraintickets.com/ or
https://www.printtraintickets.com/one for the 'one' specific site.

Though getting off early at Tottenham Hale would be against the rules -
though you could well get away with it as long as there's not any RPIs
there. There doesn't appear to be any specific restriction about using
a bike with a Print@Home ticket, but I dunno what the story is with
regards to bikes on 'one' trains from Cambridge to London - if you need
a reservation they might not give you one if you've got this cheap
ticket, however there appears to be nothing in the T&Cs about cycles.

(Every time I read, write or hear the absurd name of that train company
I imagine the absurd National Express Group board meeting where the
directors approved the name following a persuasive presentation by some
hyper-ambitious self promoting over-compensated brand consultants who'd
spent no time considering how it would work - or not work - in the real
world. I guess the 'Operated by National Express' explanation appealed
to their vanity, and that - combined with the idea that 'one' was
unifying three old franchises - meant that they thought it was a
clever, tricksy name. But in the real world it's just ridiculous.)
