Lost property Have you lost an item? My understanding is that agents can only issue fares via RSP just like any TOC or online third-party retailer, and do not have access to any special fares. It is therefore likely that you have discovered some sort of anomaly and it is not actually possible to purchase the fare.
However, if you are able to provide further information about the TOC and the fare in question I will be able to provide a more precise answer. The regulation of fares and the franchising system in general is a mess and there are some odd exceptions to the rules, and so it would be worth providing more detail.
To answer your question about Loco2, if and when we start selling UK rail we would unfortunately be unlikely to be able to offer any special fares, only what is available in RSP i. A "rail-appointed travel agent" is an offline agent, whereas as a third-party online retailer whilst still an "agent" connects its software to the RSP system somehow.
Loco2 would count as the latter. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.

The fare deal in question is the east coast try before you fly offer, which needs to be ticketed before the end of the 2nd of March. This is a product aimed at business travellers who usually fly to London from Scotland hence calling it "Scottish Executive".
It is only available through "rail-appointed agents" because they are deliberately trying to capture the corporate market. This is an example of a TOC-only fare, so East Coast will be making a loss on this as they'll have to pay the full price via RSP probably also one of the reasons they are only offering it via TMCs, otherwise the losses would be much greater.
I can add this as part of the answer if you amend the question appropriately — Jamie. I don't know of any rail-appointed agents that are not TMCs but there may be some out there i. The specific fare is fairly short lived, so wouldn't seem to make a good question. The general principal for the next time one of these comes up was what I wanted to know! I came across the offer via a business show, where they were quite clear it was trying to capture those who'd otherwise fly. Does anyone eg atoc publish as list of rail appointed agents?
Not as far as I know.
