Title, really. Was it originally allocated by distance covered by eacc TOC along the shortest route, or was it manual? I can't imagine it was entirely manual, as there are millions of combinations and a lot of seeming anomalies in terms of TOCs setting fares for flows they don't serve at all (or for example Stafford to Cosford being XC but Stafford to Shifnal being WMT, despite the fact you have to take the same operators' services!).
Secondary question - at each fare setting round, are the prices manually set or is it an automated process? I'd imagine there's simply not enough time between each round (and people employed in the pricing division) to set every fare manually, but it's probably a mixture then?
