Hi.
I'm intending to travel to/from Chester and Newbury; I am using a 16-25 railcard.
My intended itinerary is as follows.
Sunday 21st July:
17:35-17:53 (Chester-Crewe, offpeak return (£11.50))
18:16-20:32 (Crewe- London Euston, advance (£5.95!))
And, the part I am worried about, tube to Paddington, and:
21:03-21:28(Paddington-Reading), 21:44-22:05(Reading-Newbury)- advance(£4.95)
Friday 26th July:
17:55-18:53(Newbury-Paddington, advance (£7.25)
19:46-22:00(London Euston-Crewe, advance (£11.55))
22:23-22:48(Crewe-Chester, offpeak return([£0.00]))
This journey gives a total cost of £41.20, which is a significant saving on the ~£58 I was quoted by trainsplit, even when including the tube cost.
However, I am worried that should I be delayed transiting in London (or indeed, before the transit), my onward travel tickets will not be valid (as the tube is not part of the national rail network, and thus my tickets are not a complete journey)- could someone clarify this?
Thanks in advance
