It's not taking into account the advanced price.
It's saying A to C = £42.75 (anytime single)
So it's recommending
A to B: £9.90 (advance single)
B to C: £13.05 (anytime single)
Total £22.95
And it's saying I need to change trains at point B despite it being a direct journey, so all I should need to do is stay on the train and show a different ticket - think maybe it's just worded badly?
Anyway, National Rail price the journey at £15 for an advance, which MSE isn't showing at all
Also I agree this would be useful
For that I use this http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/farefinder/search
it would be good if you could do lowest split fares though.
I appreciate this
but would honestly prefer to see adverts than be directed to soething like this
Thanks,
MSE Adam
The routes were:
London - Macclesfield - 13:00 on Sat 15th
London - Warrington - 12:20 on Sat 15th
London - Manchester - 12:40 on Sat 15th
For what it's worth, redoing the searches on ticketysplit all three were no longer able to be split, but I think it's very unlikely availability on all 3 routes changed in the short time between ticketysplit finding them and me clicking through to the trainline site.
Dont rock the boat ,baby
I understand the trade off between time and money and time is an important factor for me.
If it only does walk on fares then its a pretty poorly designed app as walk on fares are the highest arent they?
Really shouldnt release something like this until it gets you the best price for all ticket combinations.
Then again I did notice that it then tells you to buy it trhough the trainline who charge you fees so Im guessing the money they will make from the comission on said click through makes that alright then.
Not very money saving is it?
