That's because the damned things are too complicated to issue and need
to be done as an add-on.

The solution is to just add them as origins and destinations and allow
a normal ticket to be sold for them. That might mean offering
Railcard discounts, which could be compensated for by increasing the
non-Railcard fare a bit so the overall take would still be the same.
