Of behalf of an acquaintance;
For an advanced journey from Coventry (COV) to Bolton (BON), I would like to purchase a ticket via Wigan North Western (WGN) on the VT service. Choosing 'go via' and WGN yields no results. (The standard routing is via Manchester)
Doesn't matter if I choose a date pre- or post- TT change
I'm fully aware an anytime WGN-BON can just be purchased additionally.
The main query lies with why is the via Manchester route 'encouraged' on journey planners, on the packed XC service, when a quicker alternative exists, and why isn't my reasonable route accepted?
Thanks in advance
