Break of journey

[badger1badger]

Monday just gone - I travelled from ilkley to Leeds on a day return bought at lunch time.

On my return I asked the guard if I could get off at burley and then get the next train later back to Leeds

He said you can this once ?

What are the rules regarding this ?

Cheers

Paul

Was it a off-peak day return or an anytime-day return?

Either way break of journey is allowed in both directions.

Hi I just went to the counter and asked for a return to ilkley

Off peak I guess

Burley Park is on the Harrogate line so I don't see why an Ilkley - Leeds ticket would have been valid.

Best advice for the West Yorkshire area is to get a Day Rover which is available for Bus and Train or just Train. This is excellent value and allows travel across the West Yorkshire PTE area.

Burley Park is on the Harrogate line.

Burley-in-Wharfedale is on the Leeds/Bradford to Ilkley "Wharfedale" line.

Can you clarify as it's not clear

???

No doubling back is permitted.
Break of journey is allowed an unlimited* number of times

(* Effectively limited by time and by the number of intermediate stations)

Burley-in-Wharfedale is on the Leeds/Bradford to Ilkley "Wharfedale" line.

So it is - although he didn't specify

I still can't work out what happened: if he "travelled from ilkley to Leeds on a day return bought at lunch time" means he bought a ticket from Ilkley to Leeds for a day trip to Leeds, and then was on his return when he broke his journey at Burley in Wharfedale, he should not have been going to Leeds!

But it's very confusing and I suspect this is not what he meant, I suspect he was actually doing a Leeds to Ikley return.

The conversation with the guard about "only once" confuses me.

I can't figure this one out so am unable to assist the OP. I'd like to ask that any request for advice be made very clear so we can all understand what the question is. If we get confused with the question we may accidentally give inaccurate advice or advice that does not apply to the question.

I didn't notice that last time - I originally thought he went Ilkley - Leeds - Burley - Ilkley, so had a BOJ in Burley, then back to Ilkley.

Clearly BOJ is valid at Burley on any ticket to Leeds bought at Ilkley, end of.

It is valid but the OP stated he also wanted to go "back to Leeds", which is fine if his ticket was the return portion of a Leeds to Ilkley ticket. However it is not clear.
