quite a few non rail users don't realise that you don't need to buy a new ticket for every train you travel on, but can use an end to end ticket and change trains as needed.

Great stuff, Graham.  I know who that CRP Officer was!  We'll have a video too pretty soon.  I'll post a link here when we do. 

We have a "Top tips" page here - http://greatscenicrailways.co.uk/planning-a-trip/
