I have several Advance tickets for various dates, Southport to Hereford changing at Liverpool South Parkway and Crewe.
I've just noticed that some of them give me a timed train reservation "ticket" for the LPY to CRE leg (although only * *** where the coach/seat no. would be), while others don't, just giving one for the CRE to HFD leg. The former state "issued as 03 coupons", the latter "issued as 02 coupons". Everything else is identical, all tickets being via Shrewsbury.
What governs this? Is it simply time of day of travel? It seems fairly random to me.
