I have an Advance Single from Chester to London. The only 'booked' portion however on the ticket is my seat from Crewe to London. I had originally planned to use the 9.55am from Chester to Crewe to connect with the 10.29 at Crewe - I don't have a reservation on this service but it's the closest 'connection'
On reflection I decided to go on a slightly earlier train, the 9.35am Virgin service to give me time for a coffee. I rang Virgin to reserve a seat as I know it's a busy train but I was told I couldn't have a seat reservation and that I couldn't travel on that train but had to go on the 9.55am.
Are they correct - I thought I could catch any train from Chester to Crewe on that morning?
Thanks
