There will loads of people with examples I assume but in an attempt to get some clarity on pricing I have added a comparison:
South: Dover Priory to Sittingbourne £15.90 off peak rtn (roughly 32 miles apart)
North: Scunthorpe to Doncaster £10.10 (Northern) £13.50 (TPE) off peak rtn (roughly 32 miles apart)
Are there lots of other fare disparities across the network North vs South and are some of these disparities because of extra subsides handed to some northern operators?
Just trying to provoke some thoughts as I know there are exceptions to this rule, with very cheap advanced tickets or by the nature of the route Leeds - Manchester it can sometimes work out a lot more expensive travelling TPE vs Northern etc
