I am going away on holiday to Greece next weekend, returning the week after. We fly from LGW (London Gatwick), and we are planning to travel by train to the airport (BHM - GTW and return).
My problem relates to the return journey. My tickets say "Route: Kensington Olympia". However, the only routes available via Ken require between 2 and 5 changes. But if I just search for GTW - BHM, I can make the journey with 1 or no changes.
What should I do? If I take the routes which don't go through Olympia, will we have to pay the full fare, or are the rules not really enforced? If I go to the enquiries desk at New Street, will they be able to change my ticket? Any suggestions appreciated, I've never had this problem before...
(GTW = Gatwick Airport, BHM = Birmingham New Street, KPA = Kensington Olympia)
