As you can see in this screenshot, indeed it is cheaper than £12, but you'll also note that Trainpal has removed the railcard "No railcard applied"
You may be also seeing CrossCountry services, these are advance tickets, only valid on the service selected where the minimum fare does not apply (as the minimum fare does not apply to advance tickets)
A screenshot as to what you are seeing would be helpful
Thanks for the reply. So are you saying that we can book tickets before 10am without the minimum 12 pounds condition on cross country with a railcard if it's an advance ticket. I couldn't find that condition anywhere online. But what about EMR and other services? Also, can you tell what's situation if it's a 16-25 railcard (asking for a friend) in the similar case.
Are they Advance tickets?
i am not sure about this ? i book it 2 days before usually from Nottingham to Derby in cross country service.
How does this relate to your earlier thread I replied to, which I now cannot find, where you admitted to misusing an railcard over a number of weeks and were stopped by EMR?
yah because i was planning to book further tickets in coming week don't want to mess it up again. the old issue was as below "
I'm reaching out because I've found myself in a bit of a pickle during my daily commute from Nottingham to Derby. Today, things took an unexpected turn. It seems I mistakenly booked tomorrow's ticket instead of today's. As luck would have it, when I tried to exit the station, I was stopped by EMR staff.
In my haste, I tried to explain my blunder, but things got even messier when they noticed that the ticket I presented had a railcard for the 16-25 age group. Here's where I really messed up—I don't actually qualify for that railcard, but I've been using it to save a few quid. I know, not my brightest move, and I'm kicking myself for it now.
In a panic, I pretended I didn't know about the railcard mix-up to avoid getting into trouble. But that only made things worse. They ended up filing an incident report because they found out I'd been consistently using the wrong railcard. And to add to the chaos, I realized I hadn't updated my address on the Train Pal app, so the info they had on me was outdated."
