I'm introducing my 75 year old mother to the joys of split ticketing on advances. I've booked the following for her:
Milton Keynes Central 1150 to Manchester Piccadilly 1328
Manchetser Piccadilly 1357 to Leeds 1452.
I've allowed 29 minutes connection time at Piccadilly even though the minimum time is 10 as she doesn't want to have to rush as she is not always too steady on her feet (otherwise I would have booked on the Leeds train at 1342).
If the first train is delayed but still arrives in Manchester within the 10 minute minimum connection time but my mother misses the connection because she takes too long to get from one train to the other, would she then have to buy another ticket to Leeds? Or would the original allowed connection time be taken in to consideration?
She has reservations in coach A for the first leg so hopefully that will be near the buffers at Piccadilly platform 7 so it should be quite an easy change as I believe the TPE service usually departs from platform 3.
