I am asking this on behalf of my parents who are going to Windermere right in the middle of the Avanti emergency timetable period.
They already have "any permitted" tickets but no reservations; in the event of their being unable to get a reservation on Avanti ( because there will be so few trains to squeeze all the passengers on and they are likely to book out within minutes of being released ) will these tickets be valid to go as follows?
Euston to Crewe on the fast LNWR service.
The Northern service from Crewe to Manchester Airport.
The Northern service from Manchester Airport to Windermere.
The first part is definitely valid, but what of the connection via Airport? Would they need to obtain an excess to do that?
