I know this may seem like a stupid question, but is there any actual wording that defines what break of journey actually is?
Perhaps it would help if I give the reason why this seemingly bizarre question came to me.
I am going to travel Whitehaven to Northampton starting from Whitehaven on the 09:04 train to Carlisle, and, for reasons to do with needing to arrive in Northampton as early as I can using that journey start time. I have a wait at Carlisle from 10:13 until the Euston train at 11:50.
Now the ticket restriction is 3A, so no break of journey allowed (other than to change trains) on the outward leg. I am clearly going to be changing trains, now my understanding is that I was to head off into Carlisle then this would constitute a break of journey.
If I were to set off on a train from Carlisle, and then get off at say Preston, go for a wander, then restart my journey from Preston on a later train, then clearly I have broken my journey, but it is less clear cut as to why filling in time at Carlisle by going for a wander whilst waiting for the train I have a reservation for constitutes a break of journey.
As I said initially, seems a silly question, but my limited ability on such things has failed to supply me with an answer.
