As I understand it you can use two tickets for a single trip provided that the train stops at the station where the split occurs. I realise there are some exceptions to this rule involving seasons and zone tickets but this question does not involve that situation.
I also understand that if I miss a connection (when using multiple Advance tickets) then I can use the next available service to complete my journey.
So here is my questions (the route is made up, I'm more interested in the principal)...
I have three Advance tickets. Edinburgh>Newcastle>Doncaster>Kings Cross. I am booked on to a XC service from Edinburgh to Newcaste where I change on to a direct EC service to Kings Cross that is booked to stop at Doncaster.
The XC is late and I miss my connection at Newcastle (presume that I followed the minimum connection time rule). However, the only trains to Kings Cross for the rest of the day are not booked to call at Doncaster. Would I be allowed to travel on, for example, a Newcastle, York, Kings Cross train?
Thank you in advance..
