Founders of the website TrainSplit.com are helping travellers buy cheaper ‘split tickets’. This means that instead of buying one ticket for a journey, passengers can break their trip up into legs – offering a lower combined fare while travelling on the same train. The website’s founders believe rail companies are overcharging passengers on 42 per cent of tickets sold. Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin has defended rising ticket prices in the past But it wasn't until he met rail buff Mark Richardson and his business partner George Sikking that he gained access to the pair’s vast databases of timetables, fares and reservations for the UK rail network. They launched the site last April with freelance software developer Paul Kelly, and it is used by 20 to 30 passengers a day. Mr Brown, 45, said: ‘Before we had access to this massive database, it would take the most hardcore of passengers to actually sit down with the National Fares Manual and go through it to find the cheapest deal.

'They don’t have enough time, and it’s not part of their job.’ Mr Richardson told The Sunday Times: ‘The idea is to take insider knowledge and make it available to the general traveller, so they don’t have to work anything out themselves.’ The four experts now want to extend the service to tickets which include travel on London’s Tube. They are working on an algorithm to show passengers how to buy cheaper fares if they are happy for their journey to take longer.
Although it is allowed under the conditions of carriage, train firms have in the past lobbied the government to banish split-ticketing. The MoneySavingExpert.com website also has a split-ticketing search engine, offering only two split legs.
