Edinburgh to Salisbury

[Closet2405]

I'm travelling from Edinburgh to Salisbury next Monday (8th February). I've already bought my ticket, its and Advance Single for the whole route (EDB - Kings Cross, tube to Waterloo, train to Salisbury) and cost £33.35 with railcard discount.

My question is, do I need to get a specific SWT train from Waterloo? The one in my itinerary (and also on my ticket as its in the new style) is the 14.50 from Waterloo, but if I wanted to spend an hour or two in London would that also be acceptable?

A second question is that I'm getting a train from Salisbury to Southampton Airport Parkway the following day (9th February). As far as I can see the only fare available is an anytime single, am I right in thinking I can get off at Southampton Central, stay there for a few hours and then continue my journey to the airport on the same ticket?

Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately as you are booked on a specific SWT service, you will need to travel on this service for your ticket to be valid for travel.

A second question is that I'm getting a train from Salisbury to Southampton Airport Parkway the following day (9th February).

That's absolutely fine

Thanks for your help, I thought with it being a questionably cheap ticket (Waterloo to Salisbury is £25.40 off-peak) that might be the case, but then with it just being a VTEC + connections I wasn't certain.

Neither the price or the route determines that sort of validity it is simply that it is listed on the ticket as a booked train.
