@jon Can always hope.
Don’t know if it still does, but in 2015, the Network Rail search also refused to show journeys with more than 3 changes (as in the article).
E.g. Newhaven to March: only one train result on a Sunday (with 3 changes). Whereas, using the half-hourly service from Newhaven to Brighton, there was approx. one a hour findable from there (journey times varied).
