London to Edinburgh on Saturday or Sunday Edinburgh to Glasgow on Wednesday Glasgow to London the next Sunday nationalrail.co.uk quotes the same off-peak single price for Edinburg-London direct and for Edinburgh-London Euston via Glasgow, but a higher price for Edinburg-London KingsX via Glasgow.

I'm planning to visit Edinburgh then Glasgow, each for a couple of days. Is it ok to do that with one off-peak return London to Edinburgh?

The Guildford route is a mapped route by CS+WR. Here is logic loop - to give an example route one has to know if it is permitted or not permitted, but we're discussing this topic because we don't know how to determine if a route is permitted or not. So how can anyone supply a counter example...

I believe on map WX Farnborough stands for Farnborough Group, that contains Farnborough, Farnborough North and Blackwater. If I start from Farnborough of course I go direct. But what if I start from Blackwater? Am I forbidden to use the permitted map (WX) because I'm not traveling from a...

That's very helpful indeed to have all choices listed on the screen. I do think nationalrail should include it in their inquiry service. But a question - Why is Blackwater-Ash-Aldershot-Ash Vale not covered by Farnborough Group-Woking on map WX? If I'm at Blackwater then there doesn't seem...

Aldershot is between Ash and London while Ash is between Blackwater and London, so it seems Aldershot should be permitted between Blackwater and London. Also map WX says you can go from Farnborough group (which contains Blackwater) to Woking without going to Guildford - the most proper way to do...

Thanks for the relies - that feels very warm and kind indeed. But I have another question - is there a way to find out what the price is to travel from the boundary of a London travelcard zone? Seems you can buy it from the ticket office and there's no way to know the price beforehand...

No it's not a matter of which ticket to buy. The point is you're not told so. Or rather, you're told the higher fare is cheapest. Of course most of us won't bother checking out all the options before hand. If the train makes 10 stops then there are 9 options to break it in two, 9*8/2=36 options...

I'm checking for return fares for London to Bow Brickshill on nationalrail.co.uk, and it says London to Bow Brickshill £18.5 return but that doesn't feel very right, so I tried London to Bletchley £14 return Bletchley to Bow Brickhill £2.2 return So there they're selling a combined...
