So I recently looked up Stockport to Marple on NRE. Some of the suggested journeys were via New Mills. What surpised me was the price quoted, £25 seemed excessive for a journey of that length.
It seems that for some reason (maybe the DFT's desire to get rid of "any permitted") all the tickets from Stockport to Marple are routed "via manchester". Normally when there are no tickets available for compelete journey but there are tickets available for individual legs, the NRE website will quote a split (and pop up a warning), while the NRE app won't quote a price at all but in this case both were quoting a price of £25.
Digging deeper into the website revealed what was happening (the app doesn't seem to give any further information on fares), it was quoting the price for a cheshire day ranger.
Anyone else run into instances of NRE quoting an excessive fare because a regular ticket doesn't exist, but a ranger does?
