I think the issue does come down to LNER's use of mandatory reservations, but not in the typical way you might expect with quotas or reservation availability. RDG have limits imposed on how many availability queries can be sent to the reservations system (colloquially referred to as the "look...

It's far more likely that they've simply amended the reservations system to remove the coaches for reservation purposes which will allow them to start retailing tickets for journeys post-TT change with minimal work.

I'll risk sounding like an echo but I'd be interested to know of any particular examples you're running into to see why it might be the case.

7 Sep is the rollout of LNER's next wave of ""simpler"" (and more expensive) fares.

They're called Ranger tickets and Rover tickets, actually.

I think many of the Via High Wycombe routes come under this category. Especially ones to or from more obscure places, such as Worcester ("VIA H WYC & BIRM"), or the one mentioned above to/from Shrewsbury (just via High Wycombe; not TOC restricted as such). Sometimes I also struggle to get...

Anytimes will be repriced to the Off-Peak pricing, I think. There's concessions that rely on having Anytime tickets available, and similarly other things rely on having Off-Peaks available. Makes life easier on rail industry members to keep both for the sake of it

Exactly my view too.
