Darsham - London (via Lowestoft, Norwich, Cambridge)?

[itfcfan]

I'm planning to go up to Suffolk for the weekend, from Friday evening to Sunday. I've noticed there is bus replacement between Colchester-Witham that I'd like to avoid when I come back on Sunday.

Are Darsham-London tickets valid via Lowestoft/Norwich/Cambridge?

I realise I could also go via Ipswich/Cambridge, but I'll actually be staying on the coast, so Lowestoft will be a similar distance to Darsham for me.

If Darsham-London isn't valid on the Norwich/Cambridge route, what tickets could I use? Lowestoft-London seems the most likely, but I'm wondering if there's a better option?

In terms of tickets, I'll probably use the Off-Peak Return (1st Class) priced at £59.20. I don't think there's any first class area on Norwich-Cambridge, but I'd appreciate if anyone could help me check this.

Thanks if advance for any help,

John

A London-Lowestoft return will be valid for London-Ipswich-Darsham on Friday, and Lowestoft-Norwich-Cambridge-London on Sunday. A London-Darsham return would not be valid for Darsham-Lowestoft-Norwich-Cambridge-London on the return journey nor, so far as I can see, for Darsham-Ipswich-Newmarket-Cambridge-London.
