extending a journey on a Rover

[Chester025]

Would I be right in thinking that if you bought an 'excess' from a station on a boundary of a rover to point xyz the train would not have to stop at the boundary station?

E.g if you had a 4 in 8 FONW rover which is valid to Lockerbie, if you bought a Lockerbie - Edinburgh return would the train have to stop there to be valid?

I am probably wrong...

This isn't an excess in the true sense, it's using a combination of tickets for a journey, which is governed by Condition 19 of the National Rail Conditions of Carriage.

Condition 19(c) covers you, as a Rover valid for 3 or more days in 7 counts as a Season and there's no need for the train to call (it must go that route though). Sure someone will post the full text soon enough, I'm on my phone.

No it wouldn't, but that's not an excess thats split ticketing!
