Odd request for Canterbury West to Derby

[Hydro]

I'm returning to Derby from Canterbury West today on the return portion of a super off peak ticket, any route
permitted. Restrictions for EMT are that I must travel on a train departing St. Pancras after 1930.

Now for the odd bit as the route I normally take (HS1 then the MML from St. Pancras) is quickest but please humour me

Are there other valid routes avoiding St Pancras and would the restrictions apply?

presumably you mean is it valid via Tamworth?

Are there other valid routes avoiding St Pancras and would the restrictions apply?

The Derby - Canterbury Stations Super Off-Peak Return (SSR) is permitted St Pancras - Derby via Leicester or Euston - Derby via Tamworth. The restriction from St Pancras on Mon-Fri is depart St Pancras between 1026 & 1515 (inc) and at or after 1859. The restriction from Euston on Mon-Fri is depart Euston between 0926 & 1500 (inc.) and at or after 1845.
