Thanks. It's being too aggressive in applying the restriction (Code WO wouldn't be valid on that train from Birmingham, say) - I'll have a think about the best way to fix this.

The cheapest sensible option looks to be to go from Nottingham and avoid London: Tickets - £85.50 per person Anytime Return: Nottingham to Leamington Spa £38.50 Anytime Day Single: Leamington Spa to Banbury £7.50 Off-Peak Day Single: Banbury to Oxford £5.90 Off-Peak Day Single (Not Via...

It's only valid via Haywards Heath on the return as well (route 00725 in the data - via Haywards Heath, not via Maidstone East, Tonbridge or Ebbsfleet).

furlong's explanation in this thread makes sense to me, i.e. doubling back is permitted to / from a routeing point provided that routeing point is allowed under the fare check. This would apply to Kings Norton to Cheltenham. Selly Oak to Avonmouth would fail the fare check for New St, and so...

There's a trade-off between cost and time based on the search times. The first results have the highest cost per minute (i.e. prioritise speed over cost), and then later results have a lower cost per minute. Thanks for letting me know - the site wasn't finding some splits within routeing...

Thanks for letting me know about this. The fare group logic has now been changed to disallow re-entry (which fixes the London Bridge via Farringdon issue, as Farringdon is not a London Terminal). The routeing via Cambridge was due to an older version of the fares data originally used to...

Many thanks for all the feedback. I've updated the site, including the following fixes: Fixed the issue above with some trains spanning midnight Corrected the Not Via London, etc. station lists Changed London "Metro" links to show as DLR, and enforce the Maltese Cross on these Added...

I think this could cause more confusion. The journeys returned often have different lengths, e.g. suppose the fastest journey is 4 hours, and the slowest / cheapest journey is 6 hours. If someone asks for departures from 6pm, this would be converted to a 10pm arrival (based on the fastest...

It helps a lot when looking for return journeys. With a timetable search, going outbound: Departure time searches start at the first station and work forwards in time to the second station Arrival time searches start at the second station and work backwards in time to the first station...

The £4.20 SYB-WGN is an "Any Permitted" CDR. In the routeing guide, this is shown as valid on maps GM+XW; this would allow the journey via Warrington. Also, the National Rail website will show the £4.20 fare if you do a search from SYB-WGN and add "via Warrington". Again, the links are...

I'll look at adding these - I guess this would be most useful similar to a railcard, i.e. select which Travelcard you have, and then it would use Boundary tickets where available / cheaper? The site has a limited number of split points; some smaller stations are skipped to avoid the search...

It's the same list?

Cool. It was based on the list of "London Stations" in the Routeing Guide data - the pdf is a little unclear on this, but I'll change this to be London Terminals only.

The site is applying the following logic: Wimbledon is a London station for "Via London" purposes, and Trains from Clapham Junction to Basingstoke pass through Wimbledon It looks as though this may need tweaking, but I'm not sure what exactly the rule should be? The earlier train does stop...

Thanks for all the positive feedback. The search is based on Arrival / Departure times or Departure / Arrival, this is needed to find split tickets efficiently. The search form maybe needs some more work to make this clearer - I'll look at adding a warning if the inbound dropdown is changed...
