💨 Abstract

Facing high train fares, UK commuters and travelers use strategies like booking early or exploiting loopholes like the 'Didcot Dodge' or 'Chester Cheat.' A new trick, called the 'Southwest Swerve,' involves traveling from Birmingham to Worcester first to buy a £135.50 Freedom of the Southwest Rover ticket, saving £52.80 on a journey to Penzance and offering three days of unlimited off-peak travel.
