Huddersfield to Wakefield Westgate season ticket.

[Eeveevolve]

I have just started a new job in Wakefield working pretty random shifts. I note that a 1mth season ticket NOT via Leeds is £95.30 and the 1mnt Valid through Leeds is £134.40. With only 1TPH direct between HUD and WKF is usually quicker and saner to go through leeds.

Anyway, the crux of the post is, if I get the via Leeds one, which I dont mind paying more for for convenience, does it stop me getting the direct train if that is agreeable one day?

No. Not going via Leeds is absolutely fine with a Via Leeds ticket between these stations. I thought it used to be Any Permitted. Bizarre that it isn't.

 

[Eeveevolve]

Thanks for that. Any Permitted would make more sense than having it a confusing VIA Leeds/NOT VIA Leeds.

Confusing as per usual.

Do you (or a friend/family member) catch the bus?

Zone 2 to 5 M-Card is £104.50 per month, and zone 1 to 5 is £149.00. If bought as M Card they can be transferred to a friend when you're not using it.

Thats what im going for. Less ambiguity and can use it on weekends for my travels.

You can't CoC 19C with it though

19. Using a combination of tickets
You may use two or more tickets for one journey as long as together they cover the entire
journey and one of the following applies:....
(c) one of the tickets is a Season Ticket (which for this purpose does not include
Season Tickets or travel passes issued on behalf of a passenger transport
executive or local authority) or a leisure travel pass, and the other ticket(s) is/
are not.


I dont see why not.

EDIT: not viwed in a PDF I see the does NOT include bit better. My mistake.

I dont see why not.

What he means is with Condition 19c you have one Season (which could be a Huddersfield to Wakefield Season, but a Metrocard would not count) and any number of non-Seasons without any requirement for any train you catch to call at any particular station.

Just to point out that an annual one wouldn't be transferable to friends/family.
