I am looking at the options for Letchworth GC - Matlock.
I am travelling out on Friday 2 October, returning on the Sunday (probably starting return journey at Derby)
The off-peak not London fares on my NFM03 CD says validity code 9D (i.e. use trains from 0939 onwards from Stevenage)
The fares on the NXEC & National rail site have gone up 50p (to £46.40). However, they do not show against the train I was intending to use.
I was going to get 0929 (or 09:54 but then connection is tight) from LET to Stevenage then 10:09 HT servce to Grantham & change (& again at Nottingham).
I'm sure this showed up OK a couple of weeks ago - has the validity been changed with the september fares revision?
I have just tried Stevenage-Matlock & the same fare shows up as being valid on the 10:09 service !! (& presumbaly on the 0954 NXEC SVG to Gratham as well)
my season ticket to Potters Bar covers LET-SVG section so will probably use that anyway & get the ticket from SVG (or HIT but all 3 stations are the same price). but curious as to why the difference in validity?
Coming back on the Sunday, I probably have to come back via Leicester & Peterborough due to connections.
it looks marginally cheaper to split at PBO (but not much) : (SSR SVG-PBO & SVR PBO-MAT)
Or I may get a £27.50 Weekend Return SVG-PBO (which allows travel from SVG earlier) & then SVR from PBO
Many thanks
Jeremy
