Thanks @MrJeeves , the small font green print on the email version isn't great in either in poor light.
Thanks for spotting this one. I'll raise it internally. Looks like when you go to print, some browsers (Chromium-based ones at least) will automatically strip out the background image we have for that bit of the page, making that bit of the page almost unreadable.
You can manually enable background graphics when printing and this will make it readable again, but that's not a great solution.
Not all the journeys that I use are eticket enabled.
Sorry, one more question on this itinerary.
Yeah, you do still have to stop at your ticket split points when there's disruption - pretty much the only downside of split ticketing. Worthwhile asking still though in that situation, depending on the train load and how the train manager is feeling it might be allowed.
I would certainly ask LNER about that; if they don't allow you to minimise the delay then they are increasing their Delay Repay liabilities.
Sure. But I think the behaviour means that some people will miss out on certain options that are actually available to them, because the expectation is that moving back and forwards along a timeline doesn't skip chunks of it. It doesn't seem to happen with other booking engines.
You want to travel before 0930 on 27/12/23? That's not valid on the Off peak Return.

It's something the team are aware of, but it's not an easy fix.
It certainly happens on LNER! Indeed it can be worse because you can only search in whole hours.
It does for me!
I've refreshed the page and searched again, but it still only offers me split singles. Am I not ticking a box or something?
Try it now
You say you want to return the day after Boxing Day yet the date on the above screenshot is 27 Jan. There will be no return tickets available if the return date is more than a month after the outward.
Aha. That'll be why! Many thanks!
Yes! Works better now.
That's correct; you need to specify all operators to include, when selecting that option.
Would it be worth rephrasing this option in the UI to make it more clear? It might make some level of sense in retrospect, but it’s certainly not obvious.
My sneaking suspicion, and I'm sure one of the team will be along to confirm or explain why I'm wrong shortly, is that it would be an accreditation failure as any ticket sold against that itinerary wouldn't be valid unless it met the minimum interchange times. As NRE doesn't sell tickets it doesn't need to meet the same criteria.
I have wondered what happens if you then press Buy for a ticket with this option enabled, though.

When we looked at adding some form of european rail support to our journey planning system our conclusion was it makes sense in most cases for the customer to buy an interrail pass with reservations. So didn't proceed. It might still come in a few years though...
That's interesting, was there a threshold of journey length/amount of travel where you reckoned that applied?
The National Rail Conditions of Travel confirm that multiple tickets can be used for one journey so your rights are identical whether you have one ticket or several.
