Avantix shows group save 3 and group save 4 returns between Grimsby and Nottingham, route any permitted, same restrictions as a cheap day return.
Trainline based booking engines also show this ticket, however they only show it as available when using EMT services via Lincoln. All other ticket types are correctly shown as available using other operators services via Sheffield. On the National Rail and WebTis based websites the group save is not shown at all. Is the Trainline correct in only showing the ticket as valid via Lincoln, ar as I suspect it is doing valid on EMT services only? The one piece of evidence in favour of the Trainline being wrong is condition 10 of the conditions of carriage:
"10. Tickets valid only in trains of particular Train Companies
The validity of a ticket may:
a) be restricted to; or
b) prohibit
travel in the trains of a particular Train Company or Train Companies. Any such restriction
or prohibition will be shown on the ticket."
If the ticket is valid only on EMT, surely it would be routed EMT only on Avantix rather than Any Permitted. Am I missing something in the groupsave terms and conditions, which is quite likely because I have never purchased or used a group save ticket before. Thanks in advance for any gen.
