Think there were 3 different 'bands'.

I think the wording on the promotional literature is interesting.

"Fare Choice tickets are colour-coded to make it easy for you to choose the cheapest price for your journey and by planning ahead you can get a great deal on cheaper travel.



For example, if you are able to travel during the quietest times, tickets in our bronze fare band offer you the cheapest prices, whereas our busiest services fall into the gold fare band and are more expensive."


Not that it matters now, but were these fares variable or fixed?


For example, if nobody used the service for the prices set at Gold and everybody opted for the service using the Bronze fares - would cheaper fares still be offered the service which had become the busiest and most well used?
