Hello,
According to the National Rail website:
- the cheapest return from Cambridge (CBG) to Kings Cross (KGX) costs £16, but
- the cheapest return from KGX to CBG costs £22.20
(based on a journey on 14th April)
I've heard of "fare anomalies" but this is very odd and, dare I say it, unfair.
Is this sort of asymmetry common? Are there well known examples?
Is there a requirement to use the outward portion of a ticket before the return portion? (ie am I permitted to buy a CBG/KGX return (for £16) and use it to travel from KGX to CBG and back again?)
