Got a bit of a question here.
I have an unused return portion of an Anytime Oldfield Park to Cardiff Central ticket. I would like to use this on Friday, but because of certain timing issues, I would rather start at Bath Spa instead of Oldfield Park (Bath Spa is one station further from Cardiff than Oldfield Park is).
I popped into Bath Spa station today (as I was passing - and I will be rushing on Friday) to enquire about excessing it and I was told that as the outward portion of the ticket was used, I could no longer excess the return portion. My only options were to buy a Bath Spa to Oldfield park ticket, but the train must then stop at Oldfield Park for me to change over which ticket I am using (I know this bit is correct regarding split ticketing - and the Bath - Cardiff trains don't stop at Oldfield Park) or to buy a ticket from Bath Spa to Bristol Temple Meads (and then swap onto my current ticket at Bristol).
Just want to double check this is actually the case (or not).
Cheers.
