A travel enthusiast managed to travel across the world for less than the price of a train ticket to London from many UK cities. Self-proclaimed 'cheapskate' Bailey Turvey said he simply looked online for the cheapest option.
The travel writer bought tickets for the 50-hour journey from London to Guatemala for just £152. However it's not for the faint-hearted - and did take him 50 hours and three stopovers to get there.
In comparison, an any time open return train ticket from Bristol to London will set you back around £238. An open return from Liverpool to London at peak hour is £263 while the same journey from Manchester is around £250 if you're travelling at peak time.
