I need to go to Bradford in a few weeks' time. Whatever route I take, I need to change at Leeds. Is there any reason why it's cheaper to buy a ticket for Leeds and for Bradford? As opposed to just a ticket to Bradford?:confused:

    Where are you starting your journey from?

    Somtimes fares are set by different companies, that means that one ticket could be set by First TransPennine Express and the other by Northern Rail.
