Also, as Colin has pointed out many times in the past, the premium
Great Northern charge for an outboundary Day Travelcard over an
Off-peak day return is significant - without a Railcard discount, it's
£30.90 to 23.70 (i.e. differential of £7.20).


And there are the disgraceful ones which should never be sold (except
when Railcard discounted), as they are more expensive than a CDR plus
separate Travelcard.

Yes, SWT, I'm looking at you. Bournemouth, if I recall.


Yep, Bournemouth is a shocker - Off-peak Day Return £54.60, Off-Peak Day
Travelcard £64.40.

At least with the Super Off-peak varieties, there's only a £5 premium
for the Travelcard.
