Hello all,
On Wednesday I will be travelling from Reading, spending most of the morning and afternoon in central London, and then travelling to Cambridge in the early evening.
My itinerary looks like this:
- Leave READING around 08:00 on Wednesday
- Arrive at LONDON KINGS CROSS around 09:15 (via Paddington and tube)
- Leave the station on foot
- Return to LONDON KINGS CROSS on foot around 16:00
- Get the train to CAMBRIDGE
- Stay overnight
- Leave CAMBRIDGE early on Thursday morning (about 06:00/07:00)
- Travel back to READING without any break of journey
Here is my question. If I buy an Anytime ticket from Reading to Cambridge on Wednesday, will it be valid for this itinerary, and will the ticket let me exit/enter at the Kings Cross barriers? I have looked for an answer on Google and as far as I can tell the answer is "it depends on the individual ticket", so I am looking for some clarification.
(Further information: I have a 16-25 railcard, and I would prefer to get the fastest possible trains even if they cost more.)
Thank you very much, and I am sorry if this is a stupid question!
(edit to clarify: I intend to buy separate Anytime single tickets for each day of the journey. This appears to be the cheapest option - £28.25 each day with a railcard - but I'd love to be proved wrong!)
