    Milton Keynes to Blackpool North, strange routing

    I'm doing this tomorrow, the Avanti routing is Milton Keyns-Stoke-Crewe-Preston-Blackpool, why are they sugesting this? Surely Milton Keynes-Crewe-Preston-Blackpool is far easier?

    Buying a return ticket for 2 people with 1 Disabled Railcard on the Avanti app

    Right, so I'm getting a Disabled Railcard next week. If I book tickets with Thameslink, LNW or Caledonian Sleeper, you just say you have 1 disabled railard (which covers two people), on Avanti you have to say you have 2 Disabled Railcards, is this correct? And do any other TOCs do this?
