I love train tickets 😀 Close family save them for me, I pick them up off the floor near train stations, hoard my own tickets, I love them 🙂
I now also use my train tickets as my own business cards however I find it difficult to part with them, so I mostly use the ones my brother amassed while commuting to work and back from Fratton to Hedge End. Where we always pre-order our tickets and then collect from the machines it means your surname is printed on the ticket which just makes it even cooler although I haven’t been through my collection yet looking for other surnames on tickets which would make a pretty cool collection. I would also love one day to try and make a pack of cards using my ticket collection.
Where I live, Gosport, is said to be one of the largest places in the UK without a train station, so this may also make trains that much more appealing, and neither myself or my partner drive so cycling and public transport is a big part of our lives so much so, I have often said to my partner that we should have shares in Southern railway 😀
In the past year we have travelled:
Return Fareham to Brighton x2
Return Fareham to Salisbury
Return Portsmouth Harbour to Salisbury
Return Fareham to Southampton x2
Return Portsmouth Harbour to Oxford
Return Fareham to Eastleigh
Return Fareham to Basingstoke
Return Fareham to Winchester
Plus probably some more I’ve forgotten
Somehow, I have a feeling you’ll present something beautiful & unexpected from these 🙂
