B'ham -> Leicester

I (having looked at maps BG+CE & BP) cant see anywhere that it is valid via Derby or Nottingham.
Only valid via Nuneaton .

Because as far as I can see the two stations are past the destination.

I stand to be corrected because I am not a Routing Expert.

For East Mids Pkway - I can't help. Sorry.

Would it be valid via tamworth and then up the WCML

BHM-EMD is valid via DER I just remembered I did it on the red dot days, What a muppet I am, so would BHM-LEI be in that case.....

Anyone know what time the London HST leaves Derby?

B'ham to East Midlands Parkway: I think it should be valid via Derby as Derby Group is a routeing point for EMD and I think it qualifies as a valid routeing point under the fare check rule.
I'm not totally sure though as there don't seem to be many identical fare types to compare and I don't fully understand which ones you are meant to use. No doubt someone with better understanding will give you the full story soon.

BHM - LEI wouldn't necessarily be valid via Derby, I doubt it would be

Birmingham to Leicester is valid via Derby
Routes allowed are BP and BG+CE
On map CE you can travel from Birmingham - Derby and then to Nottingham.
Map BG allows travel from Derby - Leicester direct or via Nottingham.
Although travelling via Nottingham involves doubling back it is allowed because the stations involved are part of Notttingham Group
