Hmmm. The fares seems to be in a bit of mess from Haywards Heath to stations west of the Arun Valley. Harder to predict which is the supposed to be the correct fare.
Cos it's obviously not going to be noticed by ticket office staff when someone comes in and asks for that ticket with a printout from NRE showing the price as £52?
It's inevitable that if you're actually making use of the anomaly, somebody is going to pick up on it one day and it will be corrected. However, the mentality behind bringing attention to an anomaly just for the sake of it baffles me. For those who don't work with or in the pricing department of the TOC concerned, is there some sort of merit in being the one to get these things shut down or something? I recall not so long back, forum members were championing the idea of calling the media about a conspicuously anomalous Virgin priced fare - still not quite sure why this was seen as a better option than informing the TOC directly.
I think there's some value in having a consistent and correct system even if it means erasing some anomalies.
Whilst I agree with you in prinicple, I would rather pay £52 a week than £60 for exactly the same product.
