Routeing guide again - Stalybridge - Doncaster.

Off the top of my head, I thought that it would be valid to take a train
from Stalybridge to Leeds, and then Leeds to Doncaster, but the routeing
guide does not offer that route. (It offers either maps GM+PS or MR+PS
or WK). The combination maps suggest a route via Manchester and
Sheffield and the single map is SYB-HUD-WKF-DON.

Now at first glance the Manchester-Sheffield route looks silly to me,
and it is of course much further than the route through Mirfield. The NR
Journey planner, however, offers 12.70 as the cheap day fare available
both via HUD or MAN, and when I asked if to print a personalised TT, it
printed one that only had trains via MAN.

But a quick calc suggests to me that the route via Leeds is shorter than
via Manc/Sheffield, and when I ask the NR journey to give me times and
fares for SYB-LDS-DON, it gives me a quicker journey time than either of
the other routes (which I'd expect) but then says there are no off peak
fares, and wants me to pay 42.60 for an open.

So, what's going on? If Sheffield is a permitted route, why isn't Leeds,
which is both shorter and quicker?

Figures:
SYB-HUD-WKF-DON = 53m05c (Clive's on-line routeing engine)
SYB-LDS-DON = 65m05c (my calc, might be wrong)
SYB-MAN-DON = 68m19c (CORE)
