Is there any chance of being able to do it with a SVR to Glasgow? Avantix says that an outward BOJ is allowed on that ticket. However it does say that restriction 1W applies from Kings Cross Stevenage... No idea what that restriction is, but it probably says no outward break. If it does...

I know it's a bit of a perverse question situation, but I'm not travelling short... i would want to extend the ticket to Leeds (i.e. Carlisle, Preston, Manchester and then on to Leeds).... The (totaly hypothetical) situation is this. I've bought a return from Manchester to Carlisle, it cost...

Why would I be off route? Leeds to Carlilse is valid by Manchester (maps TP+NW)... So, if on the return portion of a Manchester to Carlisle ticket (£47.70) i decided that I wanted to continue to Leeds how would they charge me an excess? The Leeds to Carilse (any permitted) is £43.90 - so the...

Good point about Manchester Mcr Warrior - the thought hadn't crossed my mind... And thanks yorkie, forewarned is forearmed - if i'm running late I'll see what i can do on the train from Three Bridges and failing that prepare my self for a 'discussion' at Euston... --- old post above --- ---...

I'm travelling up to a wedding this weekend in Wigan - I'm planning to get the 14:30 out of Euston, but work might over run... If I it does then would I simply be able to get an excess to Lancaster? Tickets to Lancaster don't seem to have afternoon restrictions, but does excessing the ticket...

Well, I've had a quick look at the 'REFDATA.DAT' file, and it looks like it contains 18 tables (thought it was 20, but two table names looked blank). As you've probably guessed the layout is: header area: unknown: char(13) table count: byte(1) table def area: table name...

As far as I can work out, there shouldn't be any problem with an outward break in Birmingham. In Avantix it says that the Off Peak Return is valid for an outward break of journey, and it think the fare is set by Cross Country (CC?). I can't see where the crazy "Outward Break of Journey is not...

Is a break of journey allowed in both directions? There's a note on National Rail Enquiries saying that "Please note Outward Break of Journey is not permitted on Virgin Trains" http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/en/pj/trp?ticketTypeCode=SVR but it doesn't say it here...

Well, to be honest once the clerk had said she couldn't get the ticket I asked to speak to the duty manager - and she then contact customer services. There were numerous reasons she gave, some to do with the fact that the fare restricted the route to 'via Swindon'. In the end it boild down to...

Sorry, I might not have been very clear. One of the routes form Three Bridges to Newport is LONDON. So I'm think I can use: Three Bridges -> London: LB, LB+SL, SC London -> Newport: BD+MW+WX, LA, LA+SB, LW, LW+WX, WE+WX, WR Hence my route of LB+WX+MW+BD And thanks to collybs, I...

I know this isn't a very sensible way of travelling from Three Bridges to Newport, but there is a reason for it... On a Friday night in December last year I found myself in Southampton, wanting to get to Newport, then to travel from Newport to Three Bridges on the following Sunday. I...

Well I'm still confused as to whether or not I can break my outward Journey. If I travel on Thursday night to Sheffield, can I continue the next morning via Leeds and Settle? I've sent an email to NRE - but in my experience you have to ask them 3 or 4 times before you get a reasoned response...

Well, here's a turn up for the books. Even though Avantix says that the Gretna ticket is valid for a break of journey on the outward portion, NRE says it's not, and pointed me to here: http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/en/pj/trp?ticketTypeCode=SVR Take not of the (Please note Outward Break of...

Gretna you say? That sounds like a plan to me, break of journey allowed and any train! Now, will the staff on the gates at St Pancras let me through? Thanks :)

With respect to St Pancras to Sheffield, if I can break my journey on the outward portion then surely I could be leaving to get to Sheffield bang on the evening peak (asuming that I want to get there in time for a few pints in the Devonshire Cat), then continue on up to Carlisle the next...

The main reason for this post is with regards to a trip from Three Bridges to Carlisle, on an off peak return - leaving on either Friday the 20th and returning either the following Monday or Tuesday. I’ve got a few questions about route validity, train / timetable validity and breaking of...
