Hi,
I would like some help with a journey I want to make this Friday / weekend. I need to travel from Hereford to Cathays, followed by a journey to Liverpool Lime St, via Chester (this is important, and where it gets complicated). The return is on Monday morning from Lime Street, usually via Crewe because these are more frequent. For brevity i'm not including all of the CDF-CYS changes.
My current plan is:
0745 Hereford (HFD) to Cathays (CYS) via Cardiff Central (CDF).
~1200 CDF to Chester (CTR).
Break of Journey at Chester.
Onward travel to LIV a couple of hours later.
Returning Monday morning:
0804 LIV - CRE
0908 CRE - CDF
Local to CYS
1818 CDF - HFD
My question - which tickets should I buy? I do not want any advance tickets and I use a YP railcard. I am aware there is a restriction on BOJ on an outbound open RTN?
My current view is to buy:
Anytime Open RTN HFD-CYS
Off-Peak Open RTN CYS-LIV
relevant single Chester - LIV (merseyrail?)
The plan would be to use outbound leg of CYS-LIV between CDF and Chester, and since BOJ isn't allowed (I think?) buy a single from Chester to LIV?
Is this sensible?
Thanks,
Andy
