permitted routes southend central to london terminals

That's a Routeing Group, that isn't the same as a station group.

I still agree that it makes sense that you can't start your journey by walking to a different station to that/those named on the ticket that is on a completely different line. However I can't find anything that actually says that, so I can see why HHF think it should be valid.

Ah yes. According to the Group Stations Document, The Southend Group consists of Southend Central/East/Victoria, so it still is not permitted.

The ticket from Southend Victoria is 'rte Romford', therefore it cannot be valid via Southend Central or Southend East (there is no 'rte Any Permitted' fare to allow it under the 'more expensive fare' rule).

The ticket from Southend Central and Southend East 'rte Barking' is the same price as the 'rte Any Permitted' fare and is therefore valid by any route that the 'rte Any Permitted' fare is (I failed to use this rule in my previous post).

The 'rte Any Permitted fare' is valid by any mapped route. These are Map EA and Map TS.

The only other examples I can think of that are even remotely similar are Bristol and Exeter, but in both cases the stations are linked.

If the Southend Central/East 'rte Any permitted' fare did not exist I don't think we'd be having this discussion.
