Break of Journey on Restriction 8A

Has as a note at the bottom: "Break of journey is not permitted except to change trains at an intermediate station or to access station facilities." which seems to apply to OUT and RETURN

BR Fares shows it differently, and you could read it that the prohibition applies to the OUT only

For the trip I'm planning for relatives I'd like to drop them at Stockport on the return*, otherwise, it's a 54-minute connection. I don't want them to encounter problems at the gateline. Given their age,mobility and luggage I don't think it would be feasible to claim they'd nipped out for a fag.

*Effectively starting short on the return at the connecting station.

Have you already obtained the tickets? If not, when buying through sites such as LNER.co.uk, they will directly tell you about any break of journey restrictions that apply to this ticket - none, apparently(!).

I doubt there would be any issue with this. In the unlikely event there is, buy some singles to Manchester and go through on those, that would legitimise the ticketing situation, and I doubt anyone would care to make you go to Manchester and back.

Break of journey is permitted on a return portion of an 8A.

Thanks - is there a definitive source for that, as NRE was a little ambiguous?

Manchester at least properly legitimises it (ticketing wise) rather than just being a gate pass.

There’s another thread on this somewhere that suggests it’s changed and does bar both ways. I don’t however think there will be an issue here.

It would need to be back to Chelford to make it valid as the routing is Chelford-x Stockport-Meadowhall

OIC, false assumption, sorry.
