Some Interesting Fares

[Eagle]

There used to be a SWT run bus link from Bordon to Liphook IIRC. Might be ten years ago or more now.

It lasted up till the end of the winter 08/09 timetable, in fact. Link

It's an anomaly that isn't supposed to be there though -

One that's been there for nearly three years! Was there in NFM03 - the earliest I have, excepting NFM98, where the fare was a more reasonable £509.

The Fairlie FOR can be more useful than the 14-Day ALR though, given that it is valid on Virgin services arriving Euston before 1000.

That aside, it is one expensive price to pay for some additional flexibility.

One interesting fare had reared its head, although since the last time it shown its head, it's doubled! (Can't say except via PM (If i could attach images via the iphone app, although i can give the station codes) as if ATOC/The TOC see it...it'll go back to the fare before its prior incarnation)

I've bought one of those for use tomorrow - had the clerk at Stockport scratching his head, even more bemused as I requested a Priv discount on it.

Does anywhere do on-line PRIV?

Ah - no they don't and if you're talking about the same ticket I think you are, it would be slightly cheaper for PRIV than for a railcard this time round.

I can go one better than that and book via telesales, picking up the ticket more or less on my doorstep (no, I don't live at a station!)

Nice to see a pricing error in the favour of a TOC fixed almost as quickly as one that favours the passenger.
