Luton / Luton Airport Parkway

[sleepymonster]

Hi

I have an off peak split ticket for travel on Sunday from Chesterfield to London, which require me to take a train which stops at Market Harborough and Luton. Is this also valid on trains that stop at Market Harbourough and Luton Airport Parkway, but not Luton itself?

Thanks.

Personally I wouldn't risk it. Luton to Luton Airport Parkway is one mile each way so technically Market Harborough to Luton via Luton Airport Parkway is within 3 miles of the shortest route, but I wouldn't want to be the one who has to argue whether that overrides the "no doubling back" rule...

There is an easement that permits doubling back between Luton and Luton Airport Parkway if you are travelling from Luton to Wellingborough and stations north thereof and vice versa.

Thanks. In the end I took a train that stopped at Luton. It was fairly busy, so didn't have a chance to ask the man checking tickets if I could have travelled via Luton Airport Parkway instead.
