Block Ticketing Pricing

[sheff'd victoria]

How common is it for block ticketing pricing on the network ?

On our Sheffield Midland to Cleethorpes via Brigg line we have an odd arrangement where a day return ticket from Worksop/Retford and Gainsborough Central to Grimsby Town or Cleethorpes costs the same price £18.10p

Is there anywhere else on the network that has this odd arangement as well ?

The industry term is clustering, and it is extremely common. If you go into Expert Mode after searching on brfares, you will see the other stations in the same pricing cluster for a particular route

Lewes
