Just wondering if I can go another way apart from 170 straight down or 153 from Coventry as i'm doing this next week, is via Derby allowed atall?

I know that when Coleshill–Birmingham was blocked when I was trying to see my sister in Leamington, and I was planning on coming back after the last 153, NRE said I could go Leicester–Derby–Leamington–Coventry

Are you sure? Don't want a hefty excess to pay

Not sure; this was during engineering and it may have actually been two tickets (basically it came up on NRE, I baulked at the price and thought, okay I'll come back earlier on the 153 )

Travelling via Derby on a Birmingham to Leicester ticket is not permitted.
