XC are changing the fares structure that they set as of 18 may 2008.
Saver tickets which currently have a restriction will have a standard restriction for outward and return journeys, NOT BEFORE 0930 MON-FRI. Un-restricted Saver tickets will be restricted before 0500 MON-FRI (so no actual change) There will be no saver tickets for journeys of less than 50 miles. Savers bought with Railcards will no longer be valid at any time and will obey the normal Saver restriction.
Cheap Day tickets will all have the same restrictions, NOT BEFORE 0930 AND NOT BETWEEN 1530 AND 1815 MON-FRI.
New
Saver First tickets will be introduced for journeys over 50 miles. They will not be valid BEFORE 0930 MON-FRI.
Advanced tickets will fall in line with national advanced fares from 18 may 2008. XC are revising fares levels and availability, the different fares levels will no longer be advertised 'in line with fares simplification' As a consequence of the fares simplification, Advance tickets sold after 24 APR for travel after 18 MAY will be NON-REFUNDABLE, although changes to travel plans can still be made.
First Class Season tickets will increase to 1.7 times the standard fare 'in line with other Intercity TOCs'.
