    Catching earlier train to avoid being stranded due to disruption

    I was under the impression that it was down to the train manager as to whether to allow you to travel. Not sure how that works if you are unable to speak with the Train Manager because the ticket gate staff won't let you get to the train mamnager

    Advice on delay with split tickets

    Thank you for your very helpful reply. I mentioned the Virgin policy to highlight that they Doors on the 11.45 may have been locked as early as 11.43 which was the time that our first train arrived at Leeds, thus giving us no time to possibly catch our connection.
