Query on ridiculously cheap fare

I was using trainscanbecheaper.info ealier, to identify some potential splits for a journey I may be making. For one section of the journey it highlighted a ridiculously cheap fare (and I really do mean ridiculously cheap). brfares.com agrees that the fare exists in the database, but it's obviously a mistake made by the fare-setter.

I don't want to publish the details publicly, as there may be some people who are exploiting this fare (and it may not be of any use for me anyway). But I'd happily disclose it via PM to a fares advisor, as I'm trying to work out what the permitted route(s) would be for this fare.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

I hope you don't mean the Merseyrail one disclosed publicly on the forum a few days ago. ;)

I wouldn't mind having a look.

Dammit, it is the same fare! :oops:

(I knew that I should have done a Google site search rather than use the built-in forum one - my only excuse is the lateness of the hour...)

On reflection I think that an alternative fare may be better for me, but bb21 I'll PM you anyway (thanks for the offer); as the fewer public references to the fare, the better chance it has of 'slipping under the radar'.
