Cheltenham-Kidderminster permitted routes

[Ferret]

Just a quicky - can anyone tell me if that is valid via Brum?

Only if Cheltenham to Smethwick group passes the fare check. I can't check that at the moment. If it doesn't then you have to go through Worcester.

It doesn't, Chelthenham-Smethwick SOS £19.00, Cheltenham-Kidderminster SDS £16.90

Then on which route would the "Any permitted" fares be valid, apart from via Worcester, given that there are cheaper "Route Worcester" fares?

I don't see any other routes

I don't know. Cheltenham Spa is a routeing point. Kidderminster has two associated routing points: Smethwick Group and Worcester Group. We've already agreed that Smethwick Group fails the fare check rule, so the only valid routes are those provided by map WR between Cheltenham Spa and Worcester Group. There is only one direct line shown. The only option is that Worcester Group contains Droitwich Spa as well as the two Worcester stations so I guess you could do Cheltenham Spa -> Bromsgrove -> Droitwich Spa -> Kidderminster. But would that route be considered "Route Worcester" as Droitwich Spa is part of Worcester Group. I think I still have a lot to learn about routeing.

Hmm, it fails the fares-check rule but yet the national rail website will give Kiddy-Moor St, walk to New St and then BHM-CNM as a routeing! Great.......:roll:

Isn't there an easement for via Brum?

Is there?

I can't find one. I searched for Kidderminster and this produced no results.

Cheltenham does feature, but not in any journey relating to going via Kidderminster that I can see.

You are right.

I was thinking about 300422.

Sorry.
