I wonder if we had these crazy ticket prices prior to nationalisation?
I know in the late 50's that the Cheap Day Return from my local station to Liverpool was considerably cheaper than the available ordinary single. When asked for a "single to Lime Street" the booking clerk would always sell you a day return and tell you to throw the other half away.
