A one way is a single. I should have said that. Now my pun of walking off looking for singles should make sense. I've been caught out as well in the States and have had some strange looks going up to a booth and telling the guy: "Return to Hoboken, please." I think English people are just bad at buying tickets. My dad once went up to a guy at Grand Central Station and said simply: "Philadelphia?" The guy said: "What about it?" Sorry – it’s called a “return”. A one way is a single.
