Many thanks. I doubt it will be hugely successful since it's not easy to find, though since it is part funded by the European social fund (no idea why) there may be some publicly available data on it.It appears to be this: https://www.traintoplanesaver.co.uk/
They are under the FAQs here https://www.traintoplanesaver.co.uk/about-us/faqs/ Break of journey is not allowed.I can't find any BoJ restrictions either (at least ones that aren't readily advertised)...

Some train companies flout this, and not much is done about it.I thought all ticketing sites had to offer the same range of tickets. I can’t find these fares on, for example, the EMR site. Am I wrong?
Well you could do Liverpool to Euston via Birmingham International for £14 (2 x £7) in just under 4 hours. No time restrictions or fiddling about with advances.Assuming this is actually live and not some test site that has accidentally been made public, there seem to be some serious bargains to be had. I’m seeing £7 singles between Euston and Birmingham International or Liverpool and B’ham International every day next week. These are effectively anytime day singles. Even within the BoJ and operator restrictions there is going to be lots of split ticketing potential.
Not that I can see. In fact they seem to actively encourage you to go to places near the airport, rather than just the airport. SeeDaft question: Is there any requirement at all to prove you're actually flying from/into Birmingham to use these fares?

The following terms and conditions apply to our Standard Class tickets:
- Railcards can’t be used for booking Train to Plane Saver tickets online. If you wish to use a Railcard, please purchase your tickets at a station or an alternative website
It would be useful to know of ‘alternative’ websites that sell these.
Could anyone print screen from NFM the ticket details? I can’t find them on BRFares. If you work in a ticket office how would you find these fares if asked?
If they are set up for online retailing you wouldn’t find them easily, and should be unable to sell them.It would be useful to know of ‘alternative’ websites that sell these.

Because Club Twin rooms are already discounted, more than a Two Together railcard would discount them by.At the other end of the scale, Caledonian Sleeper don’t allow two together discounts on their club rooms. Again, how is this allowable?
Are franchises allowed to sell tickets that do not qualify for rail card discounts? I can see them saying that these fares are so cheap that any further reductions would be unreasonable. However, the same argument could be made for the lowest tier of advance tickets. Then we could see the gradual introduction of a floor limit on the use of rail cards. At the other end of the scale, Caledonian Sleeper don’t allow two together discounts on their club rooms. Again, how is this allowable?
(I haven’t looked, but I imagine that’s a generic term for all railcards)Railcard discounts do not apply to Season tickets, train company promotional tickets, Eurostar tickets, and most London Underground and DLR tickets
As much chance of that as there was of finding Megatrain fares.I still can't find these fares (the ones that are "TraintoPlaneSaver", to get back on topic) in the fares data though
And reading up this thread, the prices have been revised since the site first came to be: back at post #11, £7 was quoted for Liverpool to Birmingham International - but the system now offers that journey for £15.The price does not seem to vary by date, only by route.

Looks like a new version of Megatrain.
