A friend of mine is travelling from Wales to the Isle of Man via the Heysham to Douglas ferry as an alternative to flying.
Looking at NRE, the correct fares and times are offered for the journey but when clicking through to "buy tickets" none of the TOC websites can actually sell the ticket?!
I tried independently on each site but again none of them offer Douglas as a destination. After taking a look at seat61.com, it transpires that the only website you can book the through fare on is via loco2.com.
This surprises me and I would have expected VT to have at least offered the fare online as they own the pricing flow!
Any ideas why this might be?
