I remember that 20 years ago (in British Rail times) in the UK a "day
return" or "weekend return" ticket had a price comparable to a single.
I also know that in Germany railways sometimes have offers (typically
for off-peak days in a week) with a fixed price (or a few fixed prices
for a range of distances) for a return trip. Buying two of those, not
using the return trip on one, staying over a weekend and not using the
first half on the other, could have been cheaper than a return ticket,
when travelling across two weeks. I remember a colleague told me that
Max Planck Institute was actually encouraging their staff to do so.
