Fares supremo Barry Doe is recommending www.fastjp.com - see Rail Magazine 786. This is by Paul Kelly and Nick Brown, the creators of Trainsplit.com the website which can find you significant fare savings by showing you where to spilt your ticket (NOT your journey).
Barry continues to recommend brfares.com, but future plans for fastjp are for "a major new system that will incorporate fares as well [as times]".
I like the fact that up to 5 start and/or end stations can be specified - useful for those times when there is more than one convenient station at either end of your journey (though places like (say) Manchester with several stations called Manchester something are - as is usual - grouped together as if one station as an alternative to the separate stations.)
Barry dislikes the fact that most train fare websites constrain you to entering journey times, even if you plan to buy an "any time" ticket. We look forward to a site that allows the user to select ticket types before train times, if s/he wishes.
