Hello, i have a train ticket, stansted to liverpool street( great anglia) , liverpool street to paddington ( elizabeth line) and paddington to bristol. I dont need anymore to go stansted airport and not possible to change my train ticket. Can i start my journey at liverpool street at elizabeth line? if i do not use it stansted airport for the first train, can i use it the other connected trains? Any activation needed? If needed i will buy another ticket.

@brist40. Welcome to the forum. What type of ticket have you got? Anytime? Off Peak? Advance Single? Route ✠AP LONDN READING or Route✠Any Permitted or different? Is it a paper ticket, or something else? Is it one ticket or a combination of tickets? And how much was the fare paid (and did this include any railcard discount)?
Thanks. this is an advanced ticket. it was printed, I collected it with collection code. I paid 36.5£, no discount.

Whilst starting part way through the journey is not permitted, it will be completely undetectable. However, you must still travel on your booked train from Paddington.
I see, yes, i will use my booked train from Paddington, ticket has a numbered seat. My concern is that barriers are open or not for Elizabeth Line when read the ticket but as i understood,for the second train it does not affect that i use it for first train or not.

If you used the Stansted Express to Liverpool Street you would have to go through a gateline to access the Elizabeth line, and that is solely concerned with whether your ticket is intended to grant you access. Nothing at all to worry about. You would also have the option of using the undeground to get to Paddington.
Thanks you so much.
