So as above, in an area that is notionally a PF area, the entire journey does have 1st class on (I think all) trains.
There is a valid ticket Saver in old parlance (so the off peak 1 month Return) - this is available as a Standard fare - I can can find out how to buy this variation.
What is the practical upshot if I travel 1st class, and want the equivalent ticket - this is not available from any obvious method, that I can can see / have checked.
Is there some form of excess formula that a guard / ticket office can apply to sell me the ticket or is it legitimate to have fares for which there are no 1st class equivalents even when there is (advertised) 1st class along the entire route.
I'll be travelling when the ticket office is closed, its not available from a ticket machine, its not available from the TOC web site or app, and its not feasible as smartcard journey either. I think I would be covered against getting a Penalty Fare
I would just like to know how to actually get the ticket I want and/or method or working with the guard to to how to issue my ticket
