Was about to post the same point. The SVR Fare Route Manchester is 70p
cheaper than Any Permitted. Playing with NatEx's excellent
reservations computer it will let me go via Manchester on both. I take
it then that "Any Permitted" includes Manchester - doesn't an excluded
route/TOC have to have "Not" or X only" on it?.

That being the case the BusSVR Fare which is also Any Permitted should
also be valid via Manchester (website thinks so) as should the Any
Permitted SOR fare (again website thinks so). So why if the Any
Permitted tickets are OK via Manchester (at £210 in the case of the
SOR) why have a £245 "Route Manchester" SOR as well?
