Return train tickets will be scrapped in a Government shakeup to the UK’s rail system expected to be announced tomorrow 🚆 Here's what you need to know, explained by kt_grant

There are currently a host of options for rail passengers – a source of confusion and frustration to many travellers. Under the new system it is expected there will be three types of tickets to choose from:

– Off-peak singles, whereby customers pay cheaper prices for travelling on trains that are less busy than the most popular services. Passengers usually have to travel during specific times and on certain days of the week on these tickets. Norway is ranked the second most expensive country – the journey from the capital, Oslo, to the municipality of Kongsvinger, 75km away, costs about €25, with a return double that.

In Hungary, the hourly train from Budapest to Ujszasz costs about the same – €4 for a single and €8 for a return.
