Hi all
I recently received the ticket alert for advance tickets on 22 Sep 23 from Gravesend to Sheffield. I booked immediately for £40 (10.15 - 13.00)
The next day the price was £29. I can see that I booked code 2FS and the cheaper ticket is 2DS.
What's the logic behind cheaper batches being released after more expensive ones? Appreciate I can't do much about it know, but would love to know for future reference. Doesn't mention this in the fares guide so thought I'd ask.
Also had a quick question on trainsplit whilst I'm here. Just to aid my understanding of the site.
I searched for the same journey above, and trainsplit shows a cheaper option that I don't quite understand. It offers me the following tickets:
with the following journey:
This suggests I can change at East Midlands Parkway, but if both tickets are Advance from Leicester, surely I would need to change there?
Also, when I look for the ticket on EMR site, it shows the first leg as £22.80, not £19.50.
Thanks!
Paul
