Hi all,
I have a ticketing query and I've withheld names as I wouldn't want this trick leaked out to ATOC to be closed down but I'd be happy to reveal all via PM to trustworthy members.

Basically I need to go from A to B which costs £10. I discovered that I could get a ticket from A to C via B for only £2 which is a great saving (and then stop short). I have verified this using national rail enquiries which shows it as a perfectly valid itinerary BUT only on the services leaving at xx.00; the services leaving at xx.30 go via D,E and F and cost far more (despite still stopping at B).

Does this mean I can only use this little trick on the xx.00 services or does this establish it as a valid route that can be used on both the xx.00 and xx.30 services despite the xx.30 not showing up on NRE.

Any help gratefully received!

What type of fare are you being quoted?

If you can reveal the identity of the stations via PM then I will be happy to have a look at the situation for you.
