I'm looking at excessing the return portion of a Liverpool to London off-peak return to Shotton or Rhyl (primarily to avoid the evening peak restrictions)
Is this likely to be a difficult thing to do at Euston? How do they decide what a valid route to excess is?
Shotton to London via Chester then Liverpool is ok on the routeing guide, and NRES website also shows it is ok - are the systems they use in the ticket office likely to agree?
If that isn't possible, what about doing two-stage excesses? Firstly from Liverpool - London to Burscough - London, then Burscough - London to Lancaster - London. Is there any chance that would work?
This isn't actually for me, I have a railcard, but any help would be appreciated!
