I recently made an off-peak return journey to Perth. I could have travelled from Haymarket or Gateway, depending on bus connections. As it happened I chose Haymarket, but I discovered a ticket for the shorter journey from Gateway would have been a whole 10p more.

If it had been convenient for me to get off at Gateway on the return journey, could I technically have been accused of underpaying?

More seriously, a day trip to Dundee would cost £5 more from Haymarket but to Leuchars £1.90 more from Gateway. There are faster trains from Haymarket and even the possibility of getting a pre-loved HST, but the Gateway ticket is valid via Haymarket.

Is this all done by computer or is there a human involved?

I suspect bringing attention to things like this will lead to the route restriction being changed. There’s a lot of anomalies like this up and down the country.
