Hi,
I'm going to be combining a work journey with a leisure journey next weekend. I want to go to Derby for the weekend (out 29/06, back 01/07) but will be in Aberystwyth on Friday morning, so I'd rather travel straight from Aberystwyth to Derby, then come back home to Cardiff on the return leg.
I can claim the the cost of the AYW-CDF journey as a business expense, so I could buy an AYW-CDF single (and receipt) and then excess it to an AYW-DBY single, and buy the BDY-CDF leg separately.
Alternatively, The cost of an AYW-DBY off-peak return ticket is practically the same price as the AYW-CDF single, and I won't need to present the ticket to claim, only the receipt. As I've been caught out misinformed on excesses in the past could a learned person check that I'd be correct in asking to excess the return leg only to travel DBY-CDF, and the correct price I'd be expected to pay? I will be using my Y-P railcard for all journeys.
Thanks.
