Levenshulme-Hythe outward BoJ allowed?

[tomoufc]

Hi

I'm looking to travel Levenshulme to Hythe on this ticket (http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=LVM&dest=HYH&rte=200&ldn=1&tkt=SVR), breaking my journey in London overnight on the way out. Is this allowed? I would be travelling fairly early on the first day, so it would probably not reasonable to say that I am breaking my journey overnight because otherwise I would not be able to complete it.

Thanks

This is very questionable and comes back to the precise meaning of "cannot complete your journey that day".

You are likely to have problems with this and so I would not advise that you try this. You would be better splitting tickets if you wish to do this and are travelling both ways via London. Though it'll cost you an extra fifteen quid.

It is the passengers decision to choose whether or not to break a journey overnight. Whether or not you can physically complete the journey doesn't matter.

thedbidboy Just to clear this up, you can choose where you break your journey overnight if you need to do so. You do not have to travel to the furthest possible point (after all, there might not be anywhere to stay there, so that would be daft!).

Break of journey used to be barred on the outward portion of Savers, but has been allowed since 2008 (since they became off-peak tickets) unless specifically restricted in the restriction code for the specific journey - this only applies to a small number of journeys.

So things are getting more flexible, not less!

A supplementary Q&A has been sent out to staff now to deal with some of the questions that have arisen, this will also hopefully clear up any confusion.
