Yes, it seems to be undecided as to whether it's a 2-6-0 or a 4-4-0 with an overly long coupling rod.

At least it hasn't put people in the tender

I agree about being offered the same routes when an alternative is preferred.
All fares are the same by law no matter who sells them. The only differences are split ticketing, booking fees and refund policy.
I travel by train regularly for pleasure and use Trainpal who offer regular discounts.
There is a video on youtube by Green Signals at the moment about ticketing that I am sure you will find interesting.

I noticed in Ian's photo, that the Britannia is one of the few with the rare 2-6-2 wheel arrangement.  Quite unique!

 I don't use the train now as much as I used to, but the loss of our manned ticket office a few years ago mean that some alternative fares or conditions of use were not known about. The three staff were very knowledgeable about the 'hacks' that were available, and saved myself-or my employer-quite a bit at times.

Greater Anglia tickets online sometimes diverts to Trainline, and I'm sure the last time we used it, we were told wrong information about peak time travel, but fortunately, we completed our journey OK.

We have the matching silver Mk3s coming out next Summer (sorry about the delay - the factory keep pushing them back), so if you fancy a Mk3 rake, now's the time to make a start with the DVT!
