100% this. I will always find it hilarious if people who took part in the attacks on Corbyn are themselves damaged by accusations of things they didn't do. It's why I found this recent El Borto stuff hilarious.

Trainchat: I'm looking up some slightly tricky train tickets for a friend to go home on Sunday, found some decentish tickets and then realised other friends are driving past the first connection point so they could drop her off and cut out some of the train journey. For taking this shorter journey, the price increases £13.

People were incredibly stupid before the modern internet, it has simply served to facilitate their stupidity to a far wider audience than would have been possible in a pre Al Gore Tim Berners-Lee society.

I heard a good conspiracy theory recently about a team of ex-special forces operators who travel around the UK doing arson for contract on important or listed buildings, and who are speculated to have carried out some very high profile incendiary attacks in Belfast and Glasgow in recent years.

Exactly - hence observation bias. The stupidity was always there but now you have it all conveniently collected in r/lizardpeople

I also don't understand why you would need ex-specops people to do an arson when you could bung a few quid to the local junkies. Keep the economy local.

Is the dropping off point more of a major station than the starting point?
That happens - I can get a through ticket from a tiny rarely staffed station to some places (not London) for £X where I have to skulk about in Newport (a main station) for a connection for 45 minutes. But if I go straight to Newport, a ticket to the same destination can cost more.
Illogical.
Also, alternating throughout the day depending on train operator, the same start and end points can vary by £30 or more per journey with the more expensive journey often taking an hour or more longer and having more changes.
Whole system needs a revamp.

Can't you just buy the cheaper ticket and use it from the nearer station?

Sort of, although the connection is only Cambridge North, hardly that impressive. I need to investigate if I can book the journey even further away from the destination to get an even cheaper ticket. Though I have heard tales of people getting fined for starting the journey partway through. Trains be crazy

One of the problems of using the more remote stations is if your train operator doesn't send e-tickets, picking up a ticket from a remote unstaffed station can be a big headache.

There are gates at Cambridge North and your friend wont be able to get in if the ticket doesn't originate there.

If its a return you can break the journey at any point on the way back and the ticket is still valid.

So yes you could get on a stop later than planned without penalty.

It can depend on the ticket type: Advance tickets are priced based on catching a specific train and the number of advance tickets sold for that train. The route taken can also mean a variation in price especially if you’re going Cambridge to London (via Royston to Kings Cross tends to be a little more expensive than via Shelford to Liverpool St). Generally though shorter journeys along the same route, all else the same, should be cheaper.

You'd absolutely have to contact to the locals in Belfast, I don't care if it's SASeal Team Delta Six Sponsored by PepsiCo, they're not hard enough to cope with the trouble that would erupt from stepping on IRA/UDA toes.
