No idea what you are doing there. Every time I try it I get Southern, as I would expect.@alistairlees - no doubt there is a logic to it but it's opaque to the end-user and it looks pretty random.
I've just run Brighton to Lewes x 10 on NRE with cookies cleared - the referrals were as follows
C2C
Chiltern
Chiltern
Hull Trains
GWR
Hull Trains
GWR
SWR
TPE
TfWales
Can you explain what is actually happening here - some sort of load-balancing or is it referral management?
The rule is, the sale is handed off to:
1. the fare setter
2. if the fare setter can't support the ticket type, a random selection of retailers that can
3. if the fare setter doesn't retail online, a random retailer or (I think, and for example) Northern for West Yorks PTE set fares
