Hi,

I am looking at getting a train on 15th February to Manchester, arriving before 10:30, and leaving Sunday 16th in the morning. I am in Kidderminster, however the line is bustitute between Stourbridge and Birmingham.

I am looking at either driving to Sandwell and getting the train from there (£40.70), or I see there are standard fares from WOP to Manchester for £66.30. I would be interested in trying the new WOP station, and would appreciate the shorter drive in the morning to catch the train from there.

However, when I try to see if trainsplit can save money, it just gives an error saying "We're sorry. We couldn't find any journeys to match your outbound search. Please try again with different times or stations."

Is this down to the uncertainty of WOP being open for business by then? Or something else?

I'm having no problem obtaining itineraries for this journey. Circa £41.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I've tried again on both PC and phone clearing cookies and still getting same error. Would you be kind enough to see which tickets it is for the split? The best I could do manually was split at Stafford for £46 total so interested to see the £41 (provided it's not with advance tickets... I might need to be flexible for the return leg).

Station is not open yet, date to be confirmed soon.

Hi, I am aware the station isn't open. However, ticket prices and journeys are available on NRE. However, Trainsplit isn't working for me to show where to split to save £. Any ideas?

I think you need to describe exactly what you are typing into which boxes, which buttons you are pressing etc., preferably also including screenshots etc., in order for anybody to be able to help you. As noted above it is working for others - and for me - see screenshot below from just now:

Try a "Leave after" rather than "Arrive before" search. Arrive before can be a bit unpredictable.
