question of ticketing

quick ticketing question -

I want to go to lets say crewe

Can i buy huddersfield - crewe ticket? or would I need to pay huddersfield - man picc and then again to crewe which is what i usally do, this takes time and at manchester its very busy a lot of the times. I've seen it happen on my work expirence but i'm wondering would it be more expensive to buy huddersfield to crewe?
cheerz if you can help

edit: if i bought manchester to carlisle then changed at preston with that ticket is that okay or not?
cheers again

Assuming you're going in the next few weeks, before you turn 16 ...

Huddersfield - Crewe £10.20 SVR (Off Peak Return; Any train. Rtn within 1 month any time)
Huddersfield - Manchester £5.10 CDR (Off Peak Day Return; Valid from 0915. Rtn same day any time)
Manchester - Crewe £5.50 CDR (Off Peak Day Return; Valid from 0930. Rtn same day any time)

Therefore, it is cheaper to get the through ticket.

A very small saving can be made, which I do not recommend, by purchasing a Manchester-Crewe Virgin Trains only ticket, this severely limits your options (to around 1 train per hour), the price is £4.30 CDR (Off Peak Day Return; Valid from 0930. Return same day any time) or £5.50 SOR (Anytime Return; Valid any time, Return within 1 month, also available to purchase on board Virgin Trains services so no need to queue).

Manchester - Carlisle SVR is £23.75 (Off Peak Return; Route Lancaster, Valid from 0415 M-F, Return within 1 month from 0415 M-F). I don't think there's a way you can do this without going via Preston, so yes that's got to be valid!

You are better off with split tickets though.

Manchester - Preston CDR £4.80 (Off Peak Day Return; Valid from 0930 M-F. Rtn any train same day any time)
Preston - Carlisle CDR (Off Peak Day Return; Route Penrith; Valid from 0930 M-F. Rtn any train same day any time)

All fares listed in this post are Child (5-15) fares, and valid at any time at weekends. Restrictions apply on the outward journeys of some of these tickets on Mondays-Fridays as shown above.
