Ditching peak and off peak prices would be a good start as it’s that that seems to cause most of the problems. I once travelled from Bristol to Manchester and had seven single tickets to get the best possible price but didn’t actually move from my seat. When I used to regularly travel from Bristol to London I broke the journey at Didcot and it saved about £60, again without moving from my seat. Where's the sense in that?
Not only that but peak and off peak distorts the times that people travel. The last off peak train back from London would always be rammed as would the first one once peak time had finished. There were many times that I’d have to stand all of the way. I once got off at Reading and milled about there waiting for a later service as it was preferable to the conditions on the train!
