Hi all,
(First post, be kind!)
Currently I travel from Birmingham New Street to Milton Keynes Central on the London Midland 17:54, arriving 19:22 - a direct train.
Due to the Coventry disruption today, LM have said it is permissible to take the 17:49 Cross Country service from BHM to Tamworth (arrives 18:08) and then the 18:20 LM service from TAM to MKC (arrives 19:14).
I've spotted that this journey is actually 3 minutes quicker than my usual direct journey. Would that make it a permissible route on any normal day, on an "Any permitted" route ticket, or is that permission based on distance over duration?
Currently I have a monthly season from MKC to BHM, any permitted, which I use mainly for VM services but occasionally LM if I am working at odd times.
Thanks,
Bill.
