Today’s travel podcast is on the thorny subject of single-leg pricing: whereby passengers wanting flexible, one-way off-peak tickets on the East Coast main line can save almost half compared with the fares prevailing last week. I believe it is the first significant step in untangling the incredibly complicated system of rail fares that confuse and deter prospective train travellers. But unless you live in eastern Scotland, northeast England or Yorkshire, it could be a while before it comes to a station near you.This podcast, unlike train tickets, is far more generously priced as it's free, along with my weekly newsletter.
