Has London Northwestern Railway/West Midlands Railway changed to single leg pricing, or are they in the process of doing so?

If you look up a journey on the LNR/WMR site, it lists single fares for each leg of the journey but if there's a return fare that's cheaper than two singles it still offers you such a fare on the right-hand side. Even so, as it lists single fares for each leg this could mislead some passengers into selecting two singles and overpaying for their journey.

Isn't that just Trainline's booking engine? Returns are at the bottom.

It's the same for EMR's booking page, but there probably won't be Single Leg Pricing coming to LNR/WMR, that's just how Trainline-based sites work and look like.

Single leg pricing applies at Bletchley and south thereof and will at some point come to MKC and the Marston Vale as part of Project Oval (contactless implementation). However day returns remain at twice the relevant singles.

Oh, oop, I totally forgot about Project Oval, but that would have an influence on most of the Project Oval fares, not only or all LNR/WMR fares directly.

What journey are you making and at what times?
