Hi, on 13th December (for Gizzy's birthday bash ) I used National Rail just to find out the price for the ticket from my local station (Burton Joyce) to Sheffield. I assumed it'd give me Burton Joyce - Nottingham then change to either Derby or chesterfield, and onwards. However, it churned out a very odd route I'm not sure is technically valid, but is fine for me. Basically, it gives me these details:
Says I can buy a Child First Anytime Day Single (what a mouthfull!) for only £6.20, which is less than £1 more expensive than buying a ticket from Nottingham to Sheffield return and on the way back I'd be buying a standard anytime single at £4.50 anyway. So is that a valid route or something up with National Rail? Also, assuming this ticket is indeed valid, would I be able to stay at doncaster for a bit and get a later XC or TPE service down to Sheffield?
Cheers
