As we have now discovered, TPEx Advance tickets are available, and they are
split at York. So I had a look in case the OJP is splitting the journey
somewhere else such as Piccadilly, but no, it uses York as well. So it seems
to be an issue with the OJP, especially as someone has posted that the NXEC
planner succesfully finds the fares.

It's no good us discussing it here every few weeks though, it needs ATOC (or
someone) to fix it properly...
