Man buys nine separate tickets for one train journey and saves £360

A man saves £360 on one train journey to and from work by buying nine separate tickets.

Kieran Maguire, 60, was horrified when he discovered his return journey from Haywards Heath in West Sussex to Liverpool Lime Street would cost £441.20. The lecturer takes the journey up to twice a week to teach accounting and finance at the University of Liverpool, so was keen to find an alternative.

He worked out that if he split his three hour and 48 minute train journey into multiple tickets - instead of buying a single ticket - he could save hundreds. So now he buys nine tickets - five to Liverpool and four home - for just £81.70.
