It was; I focused on what was posted here first and only looked at the terms and conditions on the website afterwards.

This has given me a damm good reason for renewing my railcard, should be able to get good value out of it, a sub £20 flexible return liv-eus mustn't have been a thing for decades. Clearly trying to give lumo a run for their money

Gave a time i wished to travel for a LNR promo ticket but time doesn't appear on the ticket nor does any seat reservation so i take it that they are doing the same as last year and it's a case of travel when you like.

Seems like tickets don't allow for BoJ, so it is less good than I thought but I will still be using it.

While Transpennine are showing there at 4%
Airtime seem to be varying across users. I've got 2% on one number and 4% on another.

London Northwestern railway sale, zonal fares from £7.50 and railcard discount allowed too.. book 7 days ahead and travel until 31 AUG
from 'quote' London northwestern railway website
SALE: Off-Peak tickets £12.50 or less
Your perfect summer’s day out starts here! Return tickets to London or Liverpool when you travel between 29 June – 31 August 2025. Sale ends 6 July!www.londonnorthwesternrailway.co.uk
Just booked for the first game of the new EFL season on 15th August.
£16.60 is an absolute bargain for a Liverpool - Euston return and the 'no break of journey' is irrelevant for me on these football trips.
Only downside is I'll have to shell-out the extra for the Tube fares (I'm guessing ~£6-£8), but it will still be considerably cheaper than the 'regular' LNR £42.20 Travelcard return.
£42.2 london to liverpool return including london underground 1-6? Where can I find this?
@Grumpy Git must have a Railcard

Is the correct assumption (Senior Railcard).
There does have to be some benefit for putting-up with all these aches and pains!

Where is the no break of journey mentioned, as far as I could see when booking it says its usually off peak restrictions

I have just booked Long Buckby to Liverpool stations for a decent £13.30 return With railcard), The restriction code is SK.
It doesn't allow BoJ, except 'to access station facilities'
Does that mean that you can't pass through exit barriers?
Grumpy Git
On Moderation
SK restriction regarding break of journey only applies on the outward leg.

................. but maybe that ONLY applies Mondays-Fridays and there's no BoJ restriction at weekends? Can anyone clarify?
You can ask to be let through to access any facilities not provided within the paid area of the station.

I do wonder whether any staff would even notice that, since its so vauge the average customer couldn't be expected to understand it

Northern have just introduced a Northern Explorer ticket, £35 for one day over the whole Northern network on their trains only, but no time restriction even Mon-Fri. So you can start as early as you wish. £60 for 2 days, £90 for 3 days, £110 for 4 days. Half fare for kids, and slight reductions for 2,3 or 4 adults all travelling together. No railcard discounts, which is a pity.
Obviously much more expensive than the £12 day ranger with newspaper tokens, but without the 08.45 starting restriction. And of course the newspaper offer isn't available all year round.
More info and a map on the GB Rail Rover Guide. http://www.railrover.org/pages/northern-explorer.html
It can be rather slow going everywhere by Northern stopping trains and this ticket is not valid on Transpennine or Avanti or East Midland or Grand Central or Merseyrail or TfW etc. So probably of limited appeal compared to the North West, North East or Coast and Peaks Rover tickets

And discussed in some detail on this thread:
Northern Explorer - new ticket?
I see that some Northern ticket vending machines now offer a type of day ticket called a Northern Explorer, priced at £35 adult and £17.50 child. There doesn't appear to be a railcard discount available. The same ticket is also listed on brfares.com, albeit hard to find. To find it on there...
www.railforums.co.uk
It's a new ticket, but I'm not sure how it's a special offer.
I signed up to Uber One again last week, as I had a few high-value train tickets to buy and expected taxi trips.
All well, save for the fact that I was in Sweden when I signed up - so all the credits are in SEK and can't be used in other markets!
