Need help with a fare

[thomasheywood]

From London to Manchester there’s a significantly cheaper super off peak fare route via London Northwestern and Northern, but having looked on trainsplit I can’t find the equivalent Anytime fare, is there one and how do I get a website to sell it to me?

 

[drueberflug]

I was only able to find these walk-up fares listed in the table below, with there being only one Super Off-Peak fare between London Terminals and Manchester Stations.

The Super Off-Peak fare would never be sold anyways as the regular Off-Peak fare is cheaper.

Would you mind providing a screenshot of your query together with some results and/or example connections and prices?

£140.00 for an Anytime Return from London Euston to/from Manchester Piccadilly, route "LNR & Nthn Only". Or £70.00 single.

As Mcr Warrior said, there is such a fare.

Ticket offices should be able to sell you that fare, and you should be able to choose the ticket type you want on the booking page for the connection where the ticket is valid on, meaning you can opt for an Anytime ticket instead of an Off-Peak one.



The Anytime Single fare with the restriction "LNR & NTHN ONLY" costs £70.00, if your intention was to only buy a one-way ticket.

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Presume valid route "LNR & NTHN only" itineraries are possible with changes at Crewe or Stoke-on-Trent. Or maybe just Crewe?

 

[Watershed]

Presume valid route "LNR & NTHN only" itineraries are possible with changes at Crewe or Stoke-on-Trent. Or maybe just Crewe?

Either is valid; giving people the option to travel via Stoke (for times when the connections work out better there) is perhaps one reason why the fare was introduced.
