Hi
Myself and a friend want to travel from Coleshill Parkway to London Euston over the christmas period. We have a two together railcard. Our intended travel dates are December 27th, returning on December 30th.
I have seen that there is a super off peak return for £14.50 (fare-setter London Midland), however I have noticed that all the journey planners don't seem to allow direct travel between Coleshill parkway and Nuneaton, then onto Euston.
The current route they are proposing is Coleshill to New Street, New Street to Tamworth and then Tamworth to London Euston. This is taking about 4 hours!! I find this odd because that's not the most direct route.
Is there some sort of restriction with using this ticket with a railcard between Coleshill and Nuneaton? I have noticed that the slightly higher priced ticket of £22.45 (fare setter virgin west coast) does allow direct travel.
I am missing something obvious? Any answers to this query would be appreciated.
Many thanks...
