    Change single to return ticket

    When is the latest time a single ticket can be changed to a return ticket if ones plans change? Do you have to change it before starting the journey or could one ask to change it during the journey either on train or at a station where one changes trains for example?

    Cosham stops

    I've been looking at changing trains at Cosham from the Cardiff/Bristol- Portsmouth service to the Southampton Brighton service, and note that a lot of the Cardiff/Bristol-Portsmouth services don't stop at Cosham any more.

    Just would like to check with experts: Is a monthly off peak return from Kentish Town to West Worthing valid to return from West Worthing via Arundel, and can one start short at Arundel on the return journey and travel via Horsham/Gatwick etc?

    Hypothetical advance ticket split

    I know the rules governing advance tickets, that stopping or starting short is not allowed, and can incur a fine/penalty fare or buying a new full priced ticket or some such consequence. All fair enough. My thought is about a journey from place A to place D via places B and C. If there were...
