@Bletchleyite . Can you collect tickets from Aughton Park, if not, where's the nearest to the journey origin station that you can?
Nearest physically would be the Northern TVM at Burscough Jn. Car ownership in the area is near 100% so some may well actually do that.
I did manage to get one journey to come up as e-ticket. Will have another play tomorrow.
Edit: it seems I now can get e-tickets for through journeys from Merseyrail onto other TOCs that offer e-tickets (e.g. Avanti), but not for internal Merseyrail journeys. This definitely wasn't the case yesterday, and indeed only became the case when I removed such a ticket from my basket. Someone hasn't been tweaking things, have they?
With Merseyrail not having scanners on their gatelines this sort of makes sense - staff can verify a small number for through journeys but less so everybody, and nobody buys Merseyrail internal tickets in advance as there's nothing to be gained by so doing.
Trainline could do with sorting this out too and then most of these issues would go away.
