Easement 701414

Comparing v912 (2025-10-15) → v959 (2026-02-10)

Implemented by London North Eastern Railway (GR)

Human-readable text

Before (v912)

Passengers travelling from Swanwick to Stations between Peterborough and Alnmouth inclusive may travel via Southampton. This routeing point easement overcomes NFM64 fares checking and operates in both directions.

After (v959)

Journey Planners are denying journeys from Swanwick to Stations between Peterborough, Alnmouth and beyond. The journeys are denied because the NFM64 fares check reveals that tickets were more expensive from Southampton than from Swanwick. As a result, journeys via Southampton are denied. This positive Routeing Point easement will override the fares check and allow the journey. This easement will operate in both directions of travel.
