- Direct or connecting
- 92% of the services we sell on this corridor run through without a change. The remaining 8% involve one connection.
- How far it really runs
- The route covers 584 km against 579 km in a straight line, a detour of 1 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
- Where the change is

- If the connection is missed
- The tightest connection we sell here has a 10 percent chance of not being made on the timetable alone. Part of this journey is a self transfer between separate tickets, so leave more time than the minimum and expect to check in again.

Observed service A carrier record shows this named operator serving this named pair, and we carry that through unchanged.
Where no operator publishes a fare for a corridor, the price here is our own estimate, worked out from the real distance and the real operator through a fare curve that follows lead time, day of the week and season. It tells you roughly what the journey costs. It is not a seat anyone has agreed to sell, and the payment step will not take it.
