train travel

We wanted to use evouchers at redspottedhanky.com and checked cost of open return family ticket Ely-London (with Family and Friends railcard) - quoted £61.20. Also checked trainline.com and same price quoted. In the event we didn't get the evouchers in time and had to pay walk up price at the station - £51.50 for the same ticket. So much for 'cheap discounted tickets' from these websites!

Is it possible you were actually sold a different ticket at the station? Such as an off peak or super off peak. It does happen.
Sometimes no matter what research I do the price on walk up is different. (Usually more expensive though).
Ticket buying is such a minefield.

Also is it possible you were given a groupsave discount (when 3 or 4 travel for the price of 2). This would not have shown up on booking online unless you deliberately put it in or know where to find it.
