Title: Off peak and anytime same price. Why offer both? Post by: grahame on November 02, 2018, 05:26:32 What's the point in offering an off peak day return at the same price as and anytime day return?

That's Melksham to Bristol Temple Meads in the screen capture - but not sure why there should be two tickets, anytime and off-peak day returns, at the same price for the same journey.

(http://www.wellho.net/pix/yywhy.jpg) What are the fares for both Chippenham and Trowbridge to Bristol(TM) and thus would it be cheaper for punters to travel in peak times Chippenham or Trowbridge to Bristol(TM) on a Melksham to Bristol(TM) anytime day return. THAT WOULD boost ticket sales for Melksham if it was cheaper if not actually increasing Melksham stations footfall. Title: Re: Off peak and anytime same price. Why offer both?

I don't think there are any such anomalies left ... and from my view thank goodness. I would rather have real figures than ones that people question - ones that look good but in fact are icing on hot air! On a train as I type with about 50 other people ... suits me ...
