It would still beg the question why Arriva/DB didn't comment when attacked in the MEN for the third rise in 9 months. Nevertheless, I'll do some digging next week. Brfares.com reads from the same database as ticket machines at stations. It doesn't say GMPTE it says "Greater Manchester PTE" meaning TfGM who are the PTE for Greater Manchester, if you search for a West Yorkshire local fare it says "West Yorkshire PTE" meaning Metro. They don't want to have to change the system each time a PTE decides to rebrand itself. It's in the franchise agreement that PTE subsides must come down and PTE set fares must be brought in line with non-PTE fares. Currently the highest Off-Peak Return fare between 2 Greater Manchester stations is just £5.90 when you can pay £10+ for a 20 mile each way journey outside a PTE area. |
