Hi,
Perhaps someone might be able to explain this ticket cost anomaly.
Reddish North (National Rail) to Chorlton (Manchester Metrolink)
It's a journey I make quite regularly, however I have noticed that there is a price difference if I purchase my ticket from Chorlton.
It would normally cost £4.20 what ever the time when I buy from RDN, but to purchase from Chorlton on the metrolink costs £3.20 what ever the time. Metrolink ticket machines class RDN in Rail Zone 1.
Usual costs for a split ticket from RDN to MAN (Pic) is £2.20 return & £1.10 for an evening return.
MAN to chorlton return is £2.80 off peak.
So the joint ticket is a real saving, but why the difference for same journey if I buy from Chorlton? Can anyone explain?
I've tried asking the Northern ticket staff whom don't know why either?
