Yes, the cheap ticket I mentioned at the beginning of this thread is a
Euro High Saver S (come on ATOC, try to simplify that...), with 2-
month validity. That's despite the booking engine implying I was
purchasing a TOC- and train-specific ticket. The ticket doesn't have
restrictions 'as advertised' or 'see restrictions', so it seems Joe
Public is meant to know what a Euro High Saver is. I suppose this
hasn't been considered a problem, as they are only available by
presenting or co-purchasing a E* product.

I still haven't found out whether there's some funny business going on
between FCC and SN...
