I remember back in the 90s that if you wanted to travel peak-time from Fleet in Hampshire to Woking, it was much much cheaper to buy a ticket to Farncombe (some 20 miles further away) and just get off the train at Woking.
Why? Farncombe isn't between Fleet and London, whereas Woking is.
Southwest Trains then caught on to everyone "abusing" their ridiculous pricing system, and fined those they caught.
