    High Wycombe to Birmingham New St (route Banbury) Super Off Peak Return validity.

    The ticket is priced at £28.10; will it be valid on Cross Country trains between Banbury and Birmingham New Street ? Saves walking from Moor St to New Street as I have to continue my onward journey from the latter. Needless to say I will be adhering to the time restrictions imposed on the ticket.
