I have a Hitchin to London Terminals season ticket so it's fairly clear that I could, for instance, buy an appropriate Hitchin to Peterborough single then take an EC train from King's Cross which is first stop Peterborough.
But do I actually have to travel through Hitchin, or does the combination of season + single become equivalent to a ticket for the whole journey via any permitted route?
For instance, if I buy a Hitchin to Cambridge single I could obviously get a non stop train from King's Cross but could I travel from Liverpool Street instead? Or if I buy a London Terminals to Birmingham ticket would I be able to travel from Hitchin to Birmingham via Peterborough?
