Changing onto faster train

[Trains06]

Just a quick one -

Using an off peak return from Leeds to Northwich.

Is there anything stopping me, on the return portion of the ticket, changing off the Northern service going from Northwich-Stockport, gettin into Stockport at xx:14 and jumping on the xx:16 Virgin non stop to Piccadilly? Tend to find the Northern service is late and if I could get the VT it'd give me a chance to drop in and get a baguette for the Manchester - Leeds train!

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers.

That would be fine.

There's nothing in ticketing rules to prevent this, but the timetable seems to mean that the opportunity is unlikely to arise.

I don't see the point in this -the time saving is minimal and thats assuming both trains are punctual.
