Just been checking for return trip Hereford to Southport out 16th July, return 19th July. Specifying via Liverpool South Parkway to avoid the confusion at Moorfields due to Liverpool Central's closure during refurb.
No outbound Advances available yet, but for return leg there is one 1258 departure shown at £8.60 (with Senior railcard). Thought I'd buy that one as it's the only one currently showing, and hope the outward Advances will appear in a day or so.
However the system (eastcoast) won't let me buy just the return part when I've specified a round trip, so I amended my search to put SOP to HFD via LPY in as a one way trip, and surprise surprise that very same ticket is now £15.85!
Curiouser and curiouser.
