Cheltenham Spa to Leicester

[willas00]

Hi,

Planning on travelling to Leicester and wanted to check is a Cheltenham Spa to Leicester ticket valid via Derby or just via Nuneaton?

The mapped routes are CE+BP. The only way to connect these maps is via Birmingham and Nuneaton, so unless there are any easements that apply,

If travelling on a flexible ticket, Cheltenham - East Midlands Parkway is the same price for an Off-Peak Return and allows travel via Leicester or Derby.

But presumably only allows Derby to Leicester on trains that call at EMD (so on weekdays that's half the Derby to Leicester trains, the other half being non-stop).
