OK, so I have a new plan
It appears that it is feasible to go home "the long way" via the Heart of Wales Line which I've not yet done but have been meaning to for ages.
This means going Cardiff-Llanelli-Shrewsbury (via Sugar Loaf)-Brum-Bletchley.
I have the return half of a Bletchley-Cardiff C Off Peak Return route Not London issued as an M-ticket. (I wouldn't usually but wanted to use the XC seat selector and not pay the extra quid for TVM issue).
I suspect this is unlikely to be valid this way, but can't get NRE to even give me the itinerary to check, but FastJP will, so I'm satisfied it's feasible timetable-wise.
What's a sensible combination of tickets and when am I back "on route" with my existing ticket? It looks like going via the Marches and Shrewsbury is valid, so do I just need a ticket to Swansea/Llanelli then from there to Shrewsbury (NRE seems to indicate that Cardiff-Shrewsbury isn't valid via the HoWL) with my existing ticket valid from there?
Thanks again.
