Hi,
If a station is a xxx Group Routeing Point Member point can you travel to a station the group is named after and then travel back along that line to get to your destination?
For my specific example the national rail website says it is fine (although the journey is significantly longer). But the train company's website doesn't allow it.
It's 10 miles over distance, involves doubling back, isn't a through train and I can find no easement allowing it. Not all trains stop at my final destination but there is a frequent service.
Is it actually valid route? Or is it just valid by virtue of being on the national rail webite?
And as a break of journey is permitted, can I "stop short" at the furthest station and save a couple of pounds on my tickets there?
I can give the names of the stations involved if needs be.
Thanks
