My parents are intending to get a London Midland Great Escape ticket next Monday. One of the conditions is that it is only valid after 09:30 (with a few exceptions). However it also allows travel in the Network West Midlands area with no restriction. Is it OK to leave Coventry before 09:30 on this ticket long as their train does not leave Wolverhampton before 09:30? thanks

However I can not find the publicity stating the exception to the 0930 rule in the 'n' area.

Condition 2 of the voucher is

http://www.londonmidland.com/tickets-and-fares/great-escape/the-great-escape/ said:
Great Escape tickets can be used all day at weekends or after 0930 on weekdays, although no restrictions apply within the Network West Midlands zones 1-5 on any day. If you're travelling to London from stations north of Rugby, you can also use the 0753/ 0853 Birmingham to Euston and the 0733/ 0833 Crewe to Euston trains. Customers from Rugby, Nuneaton and Atherstone can also travel on the 1038 arrival into Crewe. No evening peak restrictions apply.
