Elliott Badger puts the tickets from all round the UK on display at Northampton railway station.

A project that involves collecting used rail tickets from around the UK is about three-quarters of the way along its journey.

"One day we just took a load of tickets out of the ticket barriers and had a look through, just to see where people came from – and now it's nine years later, " he said.
