The £156-per-mile ticket was apparently advertised by Great Western Railway, from 22 May through to 14 July.
Martin Lewis says "these types of mistakes are very common" when using automated services or buying online.
"I'd want a troop of dancing men and women to come along and entertain me, I'd want my feet massaged and probably a hair transplant," he said.
He also advised that "if it doesn't look sensible, stay well clear of it".

It's the idea of the Keynsham Action Network, who want people to be nicer to each other in everyday life.
As part of the Kindness Day, children at a local primary school have recorded a "kindness song" and three yellow "kindness sofas" will tour the town, encouraging people to sit down and talk to each other.
That £10,000 trip from Taunton to Trowbridge is also available on May 25 through GWR, if you are interested in snapping up another bargain?
Quote MessageOn quick investigation, the anomaly fare also appears on GWR’s own retailing channels so it would appear that this is a fare setting anomaly, rather than a Trainline tech issue. We are now working to block this fare from our channels whilst this is sorted with GWR.
Spokesman, Trainline
GWR also won't charge you the 75p booking fee that you'd get on Trainline - if you book through them the cost would be £10,000.75!
Image source, GoogleAn emergency meeting is due to take place tonight, behind closed doors, to discuss Gloucestershire Airport's financial situation.
The airport at Staverton, between Gloucester and Cheltenham, is part-owned by Gloucester City Council and Cheltenham Borough Council.
It's believed the airport could ask councillors for a loan of up to £750,000.
In a statement, Gloucestershire Airport said it's "considering a number of options to help deliver its business plan".
"One of these has been a request to its shareholders for a loan that will be used to help grow the business even further".
So for your £10,000 what do you get?
Oh and we think you'd have to go on one of these from Temple Meads too....

Image source, Gazzard familyThe father of murdered hairdresser, Hollie Gazzard, says he hopes a new service will help raise the awareness of what stalking is because it is "very, very misunderstood and under reported".
The Gloucestershire Stalking Support Service has been set up by the Hollie Gazzard Trust, with support from Gloucestershire Police.
Nick Gazzard said the trust will work with the police to get a more "robust and effective response" to stalking in the county.
He added his daughter's killer had "stalking her from the outset" and had become "fixated and obsessed" by her."
