== Public transport ==
England is not a great country for using public transport without paying, pretty much impossible on buses as with very few exceptions you purchase a ticket from the driver, and hard on trams. For short hops on local trains, it's possible, and from stations without a ticket office, where one is expected to buy a ticket on board the train, it's often possible to simply look out of the window or pay attention to a book, and the conductor won't bother you. The same is just as possible from a station with a ticket office, however, if caught the penalty ranges from from being expected to pay a higher fare, to being fined £20 or more, and to having your details taken and risking a criminal record; and you should weigh up the risk against the cost of paying the fare. Be also warned about stations where you need to a ticket to get off the platform, stations such as at [[Cambridge]] and at [[London]] King's Cross.
Nationalrail website will offer fares at four times discount in advance one or two weeks . It is possible to buy discounted tickets on most lines via nationalrail.co.uk up until 6pm the day before travel. Much cheaper is megabus or nationalexpress - in advance two or three weeks, although cheap tickets can also be bought on day of travel via their websites for many routes.
