There is a Kangaroo destination in Avantix and a fare to it from Nottingham. It's some sort of rover ticket apparently.

Would have been good if it was a station that also acted as a routing point.

At Crewe station: "One Peterborough return via Kangaroo please."

TLCs? I've never been to Tal Y Cafn.
