[Elecman]

is a Off Peak Single ticket, Birmingham New Street to Preston valid via Manchester Piccadilly?

It is if you use one of these* routes.

For future help, if the NRE will give you a route on the ticket you have (check the price and that it's one ticket) then it's valid. Put in "via" to force it to look that way.

Thank you both, Ticket is Route Any Permitted, judging by Kieron’s reply it’s valid via Manchester
