I know that not everyone wants to make a return journey on the same day,
but a Saver has validity for a month and I suspect that most people go
back home eventually. Given the degree of restriction on an AP ticket
that little of a price differential is absurd.

For people on a budget doing a strict one-way trip the "via Grantham"
SVS is £43.00
