Hi,
bought an offpeak return from Machynlleth to Edinburgh (stated route: Crewe).
I'm going there via Wolverhampton, Crewe, Carlisle, but I wanted to retun via some friends in Durham. When I picked up the ticket at Machynlleth station, the lad there told me that it didn't entitle me to do so.
I've checked with the National Routeing Guide on the ATOC website, and I don't agree with him. This was, however, the first time I've ever tried to use the Routeing Guide, so I may well be doing something wrong. As far as I can tell, there are two possible route maps between Edinburgh and Machynlleth that would take me via Durham (namely BD+LY+NE or BD+TP+NE, i.e. via York and Manchester). Both will bring me through Crewe.
Am I right in thinking this? Or have I missed something?
All help gratefully received! Thanks.
