As I understand it, if you have a season, you are able to purchase another ticket to extend your journey without the train actually having to stop at the joining point. This, I think, is different to using two tickets for one journey.
So, I have three questions...
Assume that I have a Stevenage to Kings Cross monthly season.
1 - If travelling from York, can I buy an Advance ticket from York to Stevenage, even though the train may not call at Stevenage. I realise that if the train is due to stop then there is not an issue.
Now, if I can't buy an Advance..
2 - What about Off-Peak?
The T&C's say...
OUTWARD SOUTHBOUND (codes 1U or 9U): On any train timed to arrive in London King's Cross at 10.08 or later, Monday-Friday.
I think this also means Stevenage because...
Most East Coast Super off-Peak tickets do not allow travel before 09.30 Monday-Friday. (See different conditions below for journeys to/from/via Stevenage and London)
So if my train passes Stevenage at 10.00 but arrives London at 10.30(i.e. after 10.08) can I buy an off-peak York > Stevenage?
3 - and going the other way
OUTWARD NORTHBOUND (code 1V): On any train from London King's Cross except those timed to depart 06.45-07.59 and 15.59-17.45 inclusive, Monday-Friday.
Can I board a train at Kings Cross at 17.30 (peak-but season covers that) that passes Stevenage at 17.50 (now off-peak)
Thanks in advance
