When I was younger, I (and others) purchased a Third Class Cheap Day
Return to travel from Mottisfont to Romsey and back. at a cost of 5½d -
tuppence three-farthings each way, it would have been.  But BR did not
say that, although an outbound train was conveniently imminent, there
was no return service at any reasonable hour.  I still have the return
half, unused.
