I'm just curious really, about the practicalities of using tickets on 'unusual' routes.
For instance, it seems quite clear to me that a Darlington to Middlesbrough ticket is valid via Newcastle (map ER).
If I try this out, what is likely to happen? I would take the relevant printouts with me, but is it likely to be a lot of hassle?
I've never tried anything like that, so I was hoping to get some idea from those who have.
I suppose you could say that it is depriving the train companies of revenue, but it probably isn't, as I would be using the train more often!
