I am currently researching fares for what promises to be an EPIC weekend touring the BrewDog bars of the North. I will probably come back to ask about the whole plan when it is finalised, however wondered if anyone could shed light on this oddity that's making me think I'm missing something:
Travelling during the day on a Saturday. 2 people, no railcards.
Nottingham (NOT) to Birmingham New Street (BHM) - £17.80 off-peak single.
BHM to Sheffield (SHF) - £42.40 anytime single. No off-peak single.
I get that there are lots of good Advances available for both routes. Both journeys take approx. 75 mins with the same TOC.
Is one cheap or one expensive? Am I missing something huge? Why the disparity? Should I be doing something different?...
