The plan is to leave East Croydon (ECR) on a Friday morning after the morning peak (10:30?), direct to Eastbourne (EBN).
Then on Sunday, going from Eastbourne to Brighton, breaking the journey for several hours, and returning Brighton to East Croydon.
Is this possible on an ECR-EBN off peak...

I often travel from Kings Cross to Burnley Manchester Road, changing at Leeds. Until recently, I used to be able to book Advance tickets as soon as they were made available on the KGX-LDS leg of the journey. The cost of the total KGX-LDS-BYM ticket would be a few pounds more than the KGX-LDS...
I'll be travelling from East Croydon to Ham Street on Friday, returning Monday.
For both legs of the journey I'm happy to wait until after 09:30 so I'm not in the peak period.

Manchester Victoria - Hebden Bridge ; Hebden Bridge - Burnley Mcr Rd

I travelled (with 2 friends) from London to Sheffield on Friday evening. The itinerary (booked on the East Coast website) was:
1633 Kings Cross - Retford arr 1802 (EC)
1814 Retford - Sheffield arr 1857 (Northern)
As a result of the 1633 ex KGX running late we missed the connection with...
Quick query folks:
I originally booked an Advance ticket from London to Blackburn changing at Leeds. This was to be a trip to visit a friend.
I've since been invited to a business meeting in Leeds the day before my original journey. It makes no sense to go back to London after the meeting...
