Hello I need a bit of advice.
I am a poor person without much money. I will be soon travelling from Luton to Hastings. The single standard fare is £40.
But there is an Advance Ticket online from Kettering to Hastings for just £14. The leg from Kettering to St Pancras stops at Luton. Then St Pan is the next stop.
a> If I buy this Kettering to Hastings ticket and start my journey from Luton, will the ticket barrier machine prevent me from going through?
b> If I choose not to use the machine but go through the side where the ticket collector is and show him my ticket, will he notice or care that it says "Kettering to Hastings"?
(I know that if I buy a single from Luton to St Pancras, I will be 100% legal, but that costs £15 so if I can get away with the above, I will!)
Any advice welcomed.
EXTRA QUESTION!
OK so on the Kettering to Hastings ticket, it specifies the first train, the one from Ket to St P. But the train from Charing X to Hastings isn't written on the ticket. If I took a couple of hours in London, and went to Hastings later, would the ticket barrier machine reject my ticket? Would a man at the gate notice that I was on a later train than I "should" (though if no train time is printed on the ticket doesn't that mean it's valid for any train?)
