Do you really consider the £33 Off-Peak Return to be in need of being reduced?!

Good news on the "toast famine" - how are the "double up" booze runs going these days?

With offers of "doubling a double" :wink:

Do be aware that most of the Leeds to Kings Cross trains that call at Grantham do not call at Peterborough, so a change of trains at Grantham will likely be required.

How amusing that the withdrawal of this EC&Connections fare is actually going to cost EC £90 per trip from FlippyFF rather than gain them the £20 or so they hoped!

These are the difference between the Anytime Single and First Anytime Single. The reason for some being cheaper is that EMT could have risen the price of the former more than that of the latter on those flows over that time period.

Sadly TPE seem very reluctant to offer &connections Advance fares widely

The 2200 Euston-Crewe (in the Manchester service group) is a single Voyager.

Virgin allow railcard-discount Off-Peak tickets to be used any time so this is intentional!

The via Stoke services avoid Stafford and use the direct line between Rugeley and Stone which diverges from the WCML at Colwich Jn.

Really? Wait several years to perform a few weekends' work? The Trent Valley was shut for weeks without all this drama!

What is (theoretically) the biggest fare a passenger could be chinged for on the "set down only" SWT services?

Yes - I wouldn't even think twice about that up-trade.

Still taking almost 3 hours, though!

Some Super Off-Peak tickets on certain flows in the South East only come in Returns and are cheaper than the Off-Peak Day Single.
