> Meanwhile, in the UK, you can go to Stalybridge on the outskirts of Manchester and ask the ticket office for a return ticket from Edinburgh Haymarket to Bury St Edmunds and they won't bat an eyelid even though it covers God knows how many potential operators.

You can even get a ticket to Ryde, Isle of Wight and get the Ferry ticket included too.

That also works for Dublin believe it or not.

You certainly can't just order those at an arbitrary station, and I think that ticket might actually have been abolished entirely.

I'm fairly sure you can buy this from any station in Britain, at least if it has a ticket office or machines.
