How do LNER M-Tickets work if connecting services are part of your journey? Will ScotRail accept them for example if travelling from Glasgow to join a service at Edinburgh?

Have they started offering them for connecting services now? In the past they were VTEC-only.

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way (TOC only). The flow is enabled in RCS and then the journey planner can spit out any service between the two flows that is valid for the ticket. Unlike most TOCs LNER have very few LNER only flows so connections are available.

Sorry, I worded that poorly. I meant that they were only offered for journeys that could be completed using VTEC services - so no '& Connections'.

Edit: This quote from their FAQ indicates this may still be the intention:
Mobile tickets are available for the majority of tickets between stations we serve as well as selected destinations in the north west.

Yes, we (ScotRail) accept them. We are not interested in the QR code but need to see the actual ticket (simply tap the screen where it says ticket and an actual image of the ticket will appear - it even looks similar to a paper ticket somewhat) and that it has been validated for use - there will be a moving green band revolving at the top of the ticket IIRR. No screenshots.

Edit: You can even get them on purely ScotRail journeys where LNER still price the flow e.g. Edinburgh to Dunbar & v.v..
