Hi there,
Soon I'll be travelling from Runcorn East to Rochdale. There are three routes suggested by various booking engines:
1. Runcorn East - Piccadilly - Metrolink to Victoria - Rochdale
2. Runcorn East - Earlestown - Victoria - Rochdale
3. Runcorn East - Oxford Road - Salford Crescent - Rochdale
The only ticket shown is the £13.40 Anytime Day Return which only seems to be valid on the first and second routes. This ticket for some reason doesn't include the third route, for which no fares appear to be available.
I don't want to be paying for the trams or walking from Piccadilly to Victoria, or using the free buses either. Which leaves routes 2 and 3. Ideally I'd like to use route 3 as this seems to be the quickest.
So, can I use this £13.40 ticket to go via Salford Crescent or must I change onto the Northern train at Earlestown instead? I'm curious as to why there are no return fares for this route in booking engines.
Many thanks in advance.
