There are a few of these in the National Fares Manual. E.g.
Hertford Stations to West Ham route Hackney Wick is priced by First Capital Connect, but West Ham to Hertford Stations route Hackney Wick is priced by National Express East Anglia.

Burton on Trent to LONDON INTL(CIV) is priced by East Midlands Trains, but LONDON INTL(CIV) to Burton on Trent is priced by Virgin West Coast.

Belmont to Epsom is priced by Southern, but Epsom to Belmont is priced by South West Trains.

There a few more of these, not that many though. Are they meant to be like that or are they a mistake? They are complicating things trying to devise an efficient computer memory structure to load all the fares into!

This is an error where one TOC has taken over pricing from another and not all the journeys have been transferred over correctly.
