By using split ticketing, the cost of our journey from

Northampton to Bradford was reduced considerably. However, it is interesting to break down the relative costs of the four legs that it was split into with a great variation in the relative costs.

Northampton to Stafford - 9p/mile
Stafford to Stoke-on-Trent - 33p/mile
Stoke-on-Trent to Stockport - 31p/mile
Stockport to Bradford (via Piccadilly) - 20p/mile

Once again, does somebody else fancy taking this anomaly with regard to ticketing on as previous attempts have comprehensively failed to deal with it?
