Passengers are 'swerving' train fares with trick to save over £50 per ticket
With UK train fares at an all-time high, commuters and staycationersalike are going to great lengths in their efforts to keep costs down. For some, that means booking travel months in advance, while others make the most of split ticket loopholes like the 'Didcot Dodge' or 'Chester Cheat'. But these aren't the only ways to spend less when you next take to the rails. A savvy Metro reader recently got in touch to share a trick we're we're calling the Southwest Swerve, which can save you upwards of £50 when taking multiple journeys on consecutive days. While an off-peak return ticket from Birmingham to Penzance will set you back £208.30, if you travel from Birmingham to Worcester (around £10 each way) first, you can then get a Freedom of the Southwest Rail Rover ticket for £135.50. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. This gives you unlimited off-peak travel for three days over the next week (or eight days over the next two weeks if you opt for the £188.50 option) throughout the whole of Devon and Cornwall, extending between Worcester, Weymouth, Cardiff and Swindon and including the likes of Bristol, Salisbury and Southampton. So in this example, you're saving £52.80 just on the ticket to Penzance, as well as getting two extra days out added into the bargain. And to make the Swerve even sweeter still, Railcard discounts also apply. The best thing about this trick however, is that it doesn't just work for this route. There are 45 different Ranger or Rover unlimited travel tickets available across the National Rail network – and some even include bus services – so you can tailor your trip around which suits you. Hop on and off as much as you like within a certain area and for a designated length of time Create your own route Typically available to use on multiple operators Railcard discounts apply Say you're going from Manchester to Aberystwyth for the day: a standard off-peak return costs £88.10, but if you go via Shrewsbury (trains between Manchester and Shrewsbury start from £11.80 each way) and purchase a North Wales Rover All Zones ticket for £45, you've saved at least £20. More Trending Or perhaps you live in Edinburgh but will be working in Glasgow over the next few days: instead of buying three off-peak returns and three Subway day tickets totalling £63.75, get a Central Scotland Rover for £57. Not only will that cover your work travel, you can also venture around the Central Belt as much as you want over the three-day period. The possibilities are pretty much endless depending on your schedule and location, and some even allow you to go first class or get money off child tickets. And although the Southwest Swerve (alongside its nationwide counterparts) may feel sneaky, rest assured that it's perfectly above board – you're merely working a little harder to find a legitimate way to travel smarter.

Jon Moxley vs. Cope Ends In Controversial Fashion At AEW Revolution
Jon Moxley defended the gold at AEW Revolution, and the match ended with some controversy. Cope challenged Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship at AEW Revolution. The match featured a ref bump and plenty of interference, as Wheeler Yuta got involved and Jay White attacked him, but White inadvertently hit Cope as well. Christian Cage threw a wrench in Cope's plans as he broke up the pin following multiple Spears and cashed in his contract for a world title shot. Despite his best efforts to pin Cope, Cage failed to do so, as Moxley choked the leader of The Patriarchy out with the bulldog choke to ensure that he left with the title. However, Swerve Strickland crashed Jon Moxley's celebration, as he dove off the guardrail and took Moxley down with a Swerve Stomp. Strickland earned a world title shot earlier in the show by defeating Ricochet. Here's how the match broke down, courtesy of our play-by-play: Moxley drops him with a piledriver. He locks in a chokehold. Moxley gets in the referee's face. He goes to ringside and gets a chair. The referee stops him. Cope rolls Moxley up, but the referee is distracted. Moxley shoves Cope into the referee, knocking the official down. Mozley hits the Paradigm Shift. He gets two chairs and goes for a Con-Chair-To, but Cope counters. Wheeler Yuta comes out and hits Cope with a running knee. He gives Moxley his briefcase. Jay White runs in and attacks Yuta. He grabs the briefcase and swings, but Moxley ducks, so he accidentally hits Cope. White and Yuta brawl to the back. Cope fires up with a Spear for a two-count. He hits another Spear and rops Moxley with a third. A hooded man pulls the referee out of the ring and reveals himself to be Christian Cage. Christian Cage hits Cope with his contract. He cashes in his contract, making this a three-way match. Cage hits a Spear and a Killswitch for a near fall. Moxley chokes Cage out to win.
