not #simplerfares, but #notsimplerfares Which takes longer to read? War & Peace by Tolstoy or everything you need to know to chose the best fare for you on a UK train? It's easy to believe it's the latter.

Oh FFS! Try this simple test yourself: What's the cheapest fare for the 15:00 London-Edinburgh? £101.70? Wrong! It's £76.20, bought for the 14:00 but used on the 15:00 using the +/- 70 minute flex. #simplerfares

@seatsixtyone Re: the "2h20 time slot", passengers now need to check there isn't a cheaper Flexi Advance on any train in that time frame than the ordinary advance for the train they were planning on travelling on.

@richardavsmith Indeed. After which our fares boffins will need to come up with split ticketing workarounds. #simplerfares #youknowitmakessense
