@LNER said:Our new fares trial on select routes will make it easier for customers to choose the ticket that best suits their needs for journeys from today. To find out more, visit: http://bit.ly/2sp9RY9
So, as expected the switch to even pricing for outbound and return removes the date flexibility on the return leg currently available on an off peak return ticket

@ACCPnoPasaran said:Can you break your journey with single tickets ? With a super off peak return I had a month to complete my return journey.
@LNER said:It depends on the type of Single ticket you buy. Journeys with Advance Single tickets can't be broken. ^KM
@ACCPnoPasaran said:Ok that rules out advance single then. So you can break your journey using a super off peak or anytime single?
@LNER said:Hi. Yes, you can stop off at stations along your route of travel with an Anytime or Super Off-Peak ticket. ^KM
@ACCPnoPasaran said:Is it the case that you can only break your journey within the same day of travel? Previously we had a month’s validity?
@LNER said:I believe so but I'll double-check with a colleague and will get back to you. ^KM
@ACCPnoPasaran said:Thanks. It would be good to confirm if LNER have actually made things worse under the spurious guise of somehow making things ‘fairer’.
@LNER said:Hi. I've just heard back from my colleague. This trial doesn't restrict the flexibility of the old system - in fact, it allows for returns over a month which our old system didn't. In addition, tickets can be bought up to and including the day of (1/2) ^KM
@ACCPnoPasaran said:So are you advising me I can break my journey on the ‘super off peak’ or ‘any time’ single ticket up to a month from the date on ticket? As per the old system aa I did using the return portion of a super off peak return?
@LNER said:No. You can break your journey with a Super Off Peak or Anytime Single ticket but they're only valid for the date specified. ^KM
