RailEasy TicketSplit

Just saved over £17 on a ticket listed as £50 to travel from Liverpool to Oxford and back. Exactly the same trains and operators. Why can't National Rail give you the best prices?

    That's really a question for National Rail, isn't it?

    I guess it's simply that they choose not to.
