There are two "routes" from Rock Ferry to MerseyRail All Zones in the fares data:
- Any Permitted (the dot ".")
- Merseyrail only
The former is more expensive than the latter.
It appears that your girlfried has (presumably mistakenly?) been sold the more expensive one. She should get this...
It’s as if privatisation never happened:
(Image shows “British Rail” sign at Marylebone underground in 2017, though it was still there in February 2024).

There would be no costs for merseyrail to get handheld scanners or have scanners installed on gates. Zero. Zilch. Retailers have been offering to pay for these for years, via the very well established barcode cost recovery programme which is run by RDG on behalf of TOCs and retailers. Surely...
It looks like most (maybe all?) ticket types from Bournemouth to Stourbridge Town are not set up to be fulfilled as eTickets. Not even the ones that are "Not via London". This is the responsibility of the TOC (CrossCountry) to do this - retailers cannot override this.
However, Bournemouth to...
