Indeed, for tickets that can be used on only one operator you have to
use their website, as far as I know (except for Thameslink-only tickets
it had to be the Southern website, which seems odd, except that they are
all the same company now). I didn't know East Coast gave Nectar points
too, useful to know.

Most tickets are available from *any* site, certainly all the
long-standing ticket types, whether limited to one operator, Any
Permitted or something else. Short-term promotions are allowed, but
anything else should be made available to all -- or at least that's
the idea. The government was running a consultation about this
recently to see if it still needs to be the case.

You might be thinking of the journey planner Code of Practice that
does allow a TOC site to show only (or prefer) its own trains and sell
its own tickets if it's made clear to the customer -- but nobody to my
knowledge has done this without having another way to get all the
other trains and fares except Heathrow Express, and they may not be
covered by the same rules.
