When I checked the fares from St Albans to St Pancras on NRE for my wife this afternoon, I was surprised at the results:
Standard Anytime Single - £11.50
Standard Off-Peak Single - £12.00
clicking on the 'Other tickets' button gives:
Anytime - £11.50 and Anytime £19.60
also
Off-Peak - £12.00 and Off-Peak £13.70
Now I can believe that Off-Peak comes in different grades (as well as Super Off-Peak) but given that there is only one viable route from SAC to STP and since GTR became the incumbent, only one TOC, how can there be two separate prices for a ticket to travel at anytime?
