I have purchased two Advance tickets from Dalmuir to York dated 5th March 2022 with a 16-25 railcard, at a very reasonable £17.25 each, restriction code GC. My published itinerary has me take the 11:21 service to Haymarket - wait for 4h29m at Haymarket - and then board the 17:21 LNER service. I notice that BRFares describe this ticket as having validity "BOOKDTRAINONLY (1 day) Break of journey is not permitted". Does this mean that if I choose to travel all the way to Edinburgh and leave the gateline there, I will not be permitted reentry there to join my service from there instead?
I suppose I could buy an Edinburgh to Haymarket single to get me back through the barriers at Edinburgh - to which staff on the LNER service would be none the wiser - but this feels very disingenuous. Is it possible that I won't have any issue?
