OK, I realise that topics related to this come up quite often, but I have a question about an odd subtlety that's come up in some recent AP tickets I've purchased.
I've got a ticket from Hartford to Southampton, with a via-London Maltese cross. I've also been allocated reservations from Hartford to Stafford with London Midland, and Stafford to Watford Junction with Virgin Trains. There's nothing missing, the ticket clearly states it is comprised of three coupons.
Thing is, I've not been issued any further reservations. What are the restrictions there? Am I permitted to stay on the STA-WFJ train all the way to Euston? What about from Waterloo-Southampton? Normally I'd get a reservation on that stretch, but I don't have one this time. I assume the presence of a Maltese cross will mean the ticket will work tube ticket gates.
Odds are at the time of evening I'll be travelling, there won't be anyone around to check tickets anyway, but I'm a firm believer in doing this "by the book", so I'd just like to ensure I'm not likely to get into any trouble by riding (what seems to me to be) the most obvious services home.
