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.

Why would the stock forming the service have any bearing on whether the train should stop? :s

Platform 5 is now also used by the xx03 southbound VT services, as the xx00 (formerly xx19) ex-BHM service occupies platform 4 at a close time. Additionally, with the 0807 EUS-LIV calling at MKC now, the 0810 EUS-BNG now departs from platform 5 at xx43, versus platform 6 at xx41 as per...

Indeed - even if 0900 arrival is a necessity a 0701 or 0702 departure would be preferable.

The return part of these tickets is not tied to a specific train, so the OP can afford to be a bit more hit-and-miss than that, should they fancy it (and with 3tph to Manchester, who can blame them!) However, if they are intending to get the last train and want to be covered in case of a...
