Morning,

Before, a single from Guide Bridge to Hebden Bridge was valid for travel via Man Picc and Leeds, which worked out cheaper than buying a straight single from MAN - LDS.

Could somebody tell me if this is still the case?

Thanks!

No, the ticket is only valid via Manchester Victoria

Shame. Not to worry, thank you!
If you’re just looking to travel on TPE between Manchester and Leeds your cheapest option would be an advance or split ticketing (or a combination thereof’ if actually travelling to Hebden Bridge)

Advances are currently only about £3 cheaper than an open ticket. I'll have a look around anyway :)

Noted that all Guide Bridge->Hebden Bridge tickets seem to be routed "via Todmorden".

So, which way/route(s)/services can the OP legitimately travel on if actually travelling via these two stations?

▪︎Guide Bridge ->Manchester Piccadilly. (Northern).

▪︎ Manchester Piccadilly->Manchester Victoria. (Probably TPE if direct).

(Metrolink transfer across Manchester would presumably need a separate additional extra ticket).

▪︎Manchester Victoria->Hebden Bridge (via Todmorden). (Northern).

You’ve pretty much summed it up.

I’d also imagine you could travel from Guide Bridge to Stalybridge on the irregular parliamentary service and change for the Nothern services to Manchester Victoria

Of course. However, is the "Flyer" running just now?
