I am looking on NRE and the price shows anytime day return and I have found an anytime day return via any permitted route from Chester to Warrington West via South Parkway at £12.60. This is the same price as normal TFW to Bank Quay. What I would like to get to the bottom of is, is this £12.60 ticket valid for a morning trip from Chester to Warrington West via south Parkway (the recommended route on NRE) and then later on in the evening, I can simply board at Warrington Bank Quay and go back as normal on the TFW train? Same price, same area and group. Different lines though and different directions.
If I get this as a ticket to the Warrington any stations though, the ATOC routing guide says that I can't go via South Parkway to get to Warrington West. The ATOC thing doesn't seem to like alighting at one station then boarding at another.
Would I have to do this on separate tickets for these journeys or could I do it on the £12.60 return and if so, which station do I click on the ticket machine/booking engines (I don't want for guards to complain because of the routing.
Thank you in advance.
