Hemel Hempstead - Lancaster Route Validity?

[Daimler]

Just a quick couple of questions for those of you who understand the routeing guide better than me!

Is a Hemel Hempstead - Lancaster off-peak return (£45.60 with Y-P Railcard) valid via Birmingham (and thus Wolverhampton to Crewe) and Manchester (going from Crewe via the stopping services and thus via Bolton and TPE)?

Also, can I take the London Midland stopping service via Stoke to Crewe, should I wish to?

As far as I can tell from the routeing guide, all these appear on map LM of the routeing guide, which is shown as a valid map for Bletchley Group/Watford (both routeing points for Hemel Hempstead) to Lancaster Group, and so these routes should be permitted - am I reading the guide the right way?

Thanks!

Yep.

Map LM is on page 57 here http://www.atoc.org/clientfiles/File/RSPDocuments/maps.pdf

As an extreme example you could do Hemel - Northampton - Rugby - Nuneaton - Coventry - Stafford - Stoke - Crewe - Manchester - Bolton - Wigan - Preston - Lancaster!

Almost tempting...

Thanks yorkie!
