That's interesting to know. You would have thought the owners would be up in arms.
The result is that people lose an extra days holiday and have to travel when trains are both more crowded and expensive.
One agent once told me that it was the owners asking for these changes, at least in Whitby. I remember it well because I used to book a cottage via one of their websites & you could basically select whatever period you wished. However one year, I think it was either 2014 or 2015 that option had gone from the site, so I rang up and that is when they told me that. How true it is I don't know, but as you say the result is people having to travel on the most expensive days & that is starting to have an effect.
