I have been looking up a journey from Guildford to Penrith using TrainSplit.
However, I am finding some journey combinations don't show up. For example, if I start from a later station closer to London I find a cheaper price and I know it woulds be possible to reach the other station from Guildford and have an overall cheaper price of over £16 vers what TrainSplit initially suggested.
So how does the system work and how do I get it to route me to this cheaper train? I must add I'm using fixed trains and cheapest setting in all cases.
Is the issue due to waiting at station allowances? I do appreciate programming this stuff is complicated.
Also for one journey, it suggested changing at Clapham Junction and Milton Keynes. However, if I put in a change at Clapham Junction or Milton Keynes, it finds faster journeys and the slower one, where you change at Clapham Junction and Milton Keynes doesn't show up.
Is it a case of specifying longer wait times at set stations to force it to show up? I only want a longer wait where needed of course.
i have spent over an byour on this because I enjoy the fun of finding cheaper fare combinations.
I do appreciate I could be pushing the system to it's limits and I do think it's great because it found the cheaper combination from the later station. So it's doing work for me.
