Presumably TPE didn't think it would offer any competitive advantage. They would be wanting to set it at least slightly higher than the Leeds to Glasgow TransPennine Express Only at £97.80 for an Off Peak Return, and the existing ticket from York is £109.80.There are Avanti & Connections Advance fares between York and Glasgow, which must imply a West Coast interchange.
Strangely there are no TPE-only fares, which would allow TPE to be used throughout via Manchester and Preston.
I'm not really surprised at that - it's a fairly slow itinerary, which is unlikely to ever come up on a journey planner. A TPE only walkup fare might make a little more sense.Strangely there are no TPE-only fares, which would allow TPE to be used throughout via Manchester and Preston.

It's the kind of circular itinerary you could get with the TPE 55-plus zonal deal, out via Huddersfield and Preston to Edinburgh, back via Newcastle.I'm not really surprised at that - it's a fairly slow itinerary, which is unlikely to ever come up on a journey planner.
