Hi all - anyone having issues with Railsmartr pricing? I booked a couple of tickets with them and, stupidly, only afterwards checked the operator's own website which showed them at about half of Railsmartr's price. Is there a rationale explanation or is this an error with their pricing/other issue?

Edit: Just to add that Railsmartr were excellent on comms when I emailed them about this and refunded the offending tickets already. Speedy communications has been a hallmark of their service so I am glad to see it also applied here!

Screenshots below - the outbound Chip-Pad leg is affected but not the return. I wonder is the split fare inflating the cost.

Had been using Railsmartr for the past year without issue, but now I'm wondering have I been paying a premium over the operator's price for some tickets over this time.

Railsmartr isn't seeing the through advance singles as valid for some reason, or perhaps they aren't actually seeing any availability returned by the reservations system.

Why that might be is a mystery which only the people who run the site will know, I guess!

That does seem very odd. We are investigating now
