Passengers travelling between 2 railway stations in Greater Manchester and buying tickets on the day will be offered just 2 simple options:
-
Anytime – Single or Return
-
Off-Peak – Single or Return
Key points
-
The tickets are valid across all train operators serving Greater Manchester
-
It’s simpler and fairer, removing confusing operator-specific fares
-
All 96 stations in Greater Manchester are included
-
They are available online, at ticket vending machines and in ticket offices
-
Singles and Returns are available for both types, and Singles are half the cost of a Return
-
Advance tickets purchased before the day of travel and Season Tickets remain available
-
Railcard discounts, Duo, and Ranger and Rover products are unchanged
This all sounds great (except no more on-the-day advances, which is a clear loss) but I can find precious few details anywhere, unfortunately
