    Fare Check Rule with a 'Route Via' ticket

    I'll see if I can avoid posting the exact journey without it being too confusing... I'm trying to do a journey from A to B via X. Going via X is only valid on a mapped route when I use a particular associated routing point for B. I'll call my chosen associated routing point C. So, to see if...

    Alton to New Cross Gate

    My brother is making this journey soon and has already purchased a ticket that gives him any permitted routing with the maltese cross on it.

    National rail through tickets from London

    Can you buy national rail though tickets from a tfl operated station? Say from Barbican to Rayne's Park. What about with a railcard discount? Would it have to be from a manned ticket office rather than a machine? Thank you!
