On the 22:45 London Paddington to Swansea, I used to be able book a ^9.25 advance single from London to Knucklas on the 22:45 changing at Swansea to the 04:36am Shrewsbury service. Thats with a 16-25 railcard

I notice I cant now, I'm using 13 September as a tester.

Can someone help

Little help to be offered I'm afraid. TOCs are free to do as they wish with Advance Purchase fares. It seems that FGW are now only offering a ^22.75 Advance Purchase for that journey whatever date or time of day you pick, right up to the booking horizon. I've looked at a couple of booking engines and none seem to allow the ^22.45 Super Off Peak Single for the 2245 off Paddington. 

Only saving I can see on that ^22.75 is an AP to Swansea at ^8.25 (on your chosen date of 13th Sept) plus the Anytime Day Single Swansea - Knucklas at ^12.00. Total ^20.25.

Railcard prices quoted and it would appear that the 0436 Swansea - Knucklas is subject to the 16-25 Railcard minimum fare of ^12.00 before 1000, which is a bit mean. I hardly call that train a peak service. But rules is rules.  ::)

Based on bnm's post it looks like the Arriva connection that is causing the issue.

What can we do to get the ^9.25 back

^16.50 on the 05:39 from EUS to KNU on 14.10.11.
Advance Single with lucky-you're-so-young railcard.
Change Crewe and Shrewsbury.  Arrive 09:58
