Day Singles (previously Standard Day Singles) are available on fares set by any TOC but Off-Peak Day Singles are available for fares set by selected TOCs e.g. with Transpennine Express, but not with Northern Rail.
This makes some single journeys very expensive at peak times. I've seen one that was £10.80 for a single but £11.00 for an off-peak return.
For a journey to stations like Manchester Airport or Liverpool South Parkway then the train can be seen as an unattractive option if an Off-Peak Return (previously Saver) is not available, as most passengers using those stations won't be returning the same day.
