LNER website shows I can get an Advanced ticket from Cambridge to Skipton and then a Super Off-Peak Single (Online) ticket from Skipton back to Cambridge. Can I break the return journey overnight (Saturday to Sunday)? I've seen some threads on here saying yes, you can, but when searching most of those were from a few years ago (although possible I've not searched properly for recent ones).
Ticket terms and conditions for this ticket on the LNER website say (restriction code is 1L):
But when I contacted LNER support to ask they said:
When I asked if I could break the journey overnight if I took the last train from Skipton to Leeds such that there were no ongoing trains to Cambridge, they said:
(I did provide to the support person the wording that was on their website)
So my questions:
Ticket terms and conditions for this ticket on the LNER website say (restriction code is 1L):
Overnight break of journey - if the journey cannot be completed in this time, the ticket may be used to continue the journey on the following day. Unless otherwise indicated in the relevant restriction code, time restrictions apply as from the initial origin station on both days.
But when I contacted LNER support to ask they said:
"if the journey cannot be completed in this time, the ticket may be used to continue the journey on the following day" - this in regards to delayed or canceled services
When I asked if I could break the journey overnight if I took the last train from Skipton to Leeds such that there were no ongoing trains to Cambridge, they said:
it is your responsibility for the full journey to be taken in one day
(I did provide to the support person the wording that was on their website)
So my questions:
- Can I break the journey overnight? If yes:
- What if the ticket doesn't let me back through the gate on the second day and the operator won't let me through?
- What if the train guard won't accept the ticket?
- Are their any other conditions I need to be aware of if doing this?
