Favourite/Interesting Tickets

[Gathursty]

Prompted by the similarity of Beccles and Eccles.

Have you had to double-take at a ticket between two stations like above or something a bit more contrived like Bat & Ball <> Bowling?

Also, any particular journey you'd like to see printed on orange stock, with a creative VIA option if you so wish?

My favourite off the top of my head, Christs Hospital <> Healing!

Ham Street to Turkey Street via Sandwich !?

I have two tickets which are of particular interest
1. Eridge-Tunbridge Wells West return which although issued by National Rail is for a journey wholly over a heritage railway (Spa Valley Railway)
2. An Edmondson card issued by London Transport for Mill Hill (The Hale) a station that was never completed or opened..!

How about Whitchurch(Hants) to Whitchurch(Shrops) via Whitchurch(Cardiff)!!!!!!!Eyebrows would be raised methinks!

In an attempt to restore the tone, I quite like the idea of:

I set up Peniston to Clitheroe on my sportis and showed it to a female colleague (I may have missed out a few letters). She showed it to our supervisor ~ & I got a right good clip round the ear!

There was obviously no hard feelings as I got a single to Clitheroe a few months later!

It happens (not to me)

For Meteorologists we have, Hale to Snow Hill via Rainham

 

[PermitToTravel]

It's a shame that the only fares from Old Street to New Street are between London Terminals and Birmingham Stations

 

[paddington]

A bit boring compared to others, but you could do London Road Brighton to London Road Guildford not via London

Millbrook (Beds) - Millbrook (Hants); Portsmouth Arms - Portsmouth Harbour; Ashford (Surrey) - Ashford Intl; and Redruth - Grindleford (RED-GRN) are all ones I'd like to see... but haven't, yet! Also, it's a pity you can't really get a ticket from Slough - Fenchurch St (SLO-FST).

For Royalists we have Williamwood to Caterham via Georgemas Junction

I've kept a ticket from Battle to Hastings (a bit obvious, I know!)
