My mind seems to have stopped working today so I have a few very simple routeing questions which I need some confirmation for:

(1) Leicester - Long Eaton SDR valid via Nottingham on map EM?
(2) Sheffield - Long Eaton CDR valid via Nottingham on map SY?
(3) Sheffield - Huddersfield CDR Not Leeds valid via Swinton and Pontefract on map WK? (OK this one's bit weird I admit.)

All maps quoted are given by the NRG for said journey and all tickets quoted are valid for BOJ which I have checked with NFM06.

I suppose it is not difficult to see that I'm trying to split-ticket a LEI-HUD day return here. Doesn't save you much but it all adds up over time I guess. Validity via NOT also allows me a later return journey than via DBY. Anyone got better splitting ideas please feel free to tell me.

Help appreciated. :smile::smile:

(1) Leicester - Long Eaton SDR valid via Nottingham on map EM?
Yes.

Leicester is a Routeing Point (RP).
Long Eaton is a member of Derby Group RP.
Permitted routes Leicester - Derby Group are on map EM.
EM allows Leicester - Nottingham - Derby Group.
Note that this involved doubling back between Attenborough and Nottingham but this is specifically permitted by the Group Station rules (NRG page A6) because Nottingham Group comprises Attenborough, Beeston and Nottingham.

(2) Sheffield - Long Eaton CDR valid via Nottingham on map SY?
Yes.

Sheffield is a member of Sheffield Group RP.
Long Eaton is a member of Derby Group RP.
Permitted routes Sheffield Group - Derby Group are on map SY.
SY allows Sheffield Group - Chesterfield - Nottingham - Derby Group.

Sheffield - Huddersfield CDR Not Leeds valid via Swinton and Pontefract on map WK?
Yes.

Sheffield is a member of Sheffield Group RP.
Huddersfield is a member of Huddersfield Group RP.
Permitted routes Sheffield Group - Huddersfield Group are on map SY, maps SY+TP or map WK..
WK allows Sheffield Group - Meadowhall - Swinton, then Swinton - Pontefract Group direct (avoiding both Doncaster and Wakefield Group), then Pontefract Group - Wakefield Group - Huddersfield Group direct (avoiding both Leeds and Barnsley).

A Sheffield - Huddersfield journey via Pontefract on map WK would need to use one of the two daily Sheffield - Pontefract Baghill trains, then a walk to one of the other two Pontefract stations, then Pontefract - Wakefield - Huddersfield.
