Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong forum, I wasn’t sure if it should be fares or timetables!
I have advance purchase Avanti West Coast and connections ticket Manchester Oxford Road (MCO) to Dumfries (DMF) for tomorrow.
Reservations on the ticket are:
2034 MCO - Preston (Northern)
2143 Preston - Carlisle (Avanti)
2310 Carlisle - DMF (Scotrail) ,
Booked before the temporary timetable was published; according to the temporary Scotrail timetable, the last service Carlisle to DMF departs 2111, which means I would need to catch Northern 1834 to Preston and Avanti 1941 to Carlisle.
On Scotrail website it is mentioned that if booked on a service affected by the temporary timetable, you can travel on earlier/later service, but having tweeted Scotrail this evening I have been advised this only applies to Scotrail services!
Is this correct and do I now have to buy another ticket to be able to meet the earlier service from Carlisle please?
