Groupsave on routes served by EC and XC.

[class377man]

Hello,

I am looking at travelling with members of my family to both Oxford and Peterborough from Littlehampton in the coming months.

I use South West Trains' website to price the journeys as you can select "groupsave" under railcards on trainline engines to price the journey. However you cannot exclude TOCs on that software and the quickest journey often/always involves EC and XC on which Groupsave is invalid so I cannot get it to show the cheaper FGW/FCC fares. Irritatingly, I can get groupsave to show up to Radley and Huntingdon, the stops before OXF and PBO respectively.

I don't actually want to buy the tickets online as there is no saving to be made from just buying on the day but I'd like to look up the fare.

Thanks in advance.

I have got it to work (as far as I can see) by clicking the link at the bottom entitled "Results are based on the fastest available trains. Click here to check if slower routes with cheaper tickets are available."

Shows LIT to OXF for £74.80 single (Off-Peak Day Return) which matches up with what it should be (£75 return)
And a return to Peterborough is £122.60 for 4 adults, a super off peak ticket.
