The famous Condition 19 states the following:
This wording would suggest to me that it is not permitted to use two adjoining Rover tickets to cover a journey in which the crossover point between Rover tickets is at a station where the passenger's train does not stop (e.g. Severn & Solent to Devon & Cornwall on a service that does not call at Tiverton Parkway). Is this correct, or just the Condition beng less-than-perfectly written?
You may use two or more tickets for one journey as long as together they cover the entire journey and one of the following applies:
(a) they are both Zonal Tickets (unless special conditions prohibit their use);
(b) the train you are in calls at the station where you change from one ticket to another; or
(c) one of the tickets is a Season Ticket (which for this purpose does not include Season Tickets or travel passes issued on behalf of a passenger transport executive or local authority) or a leisure travel pass, and the other ticket(s) is/are not.
