I'm planning to go from Sheffield --> Uttoxeter on Saturday to go to Alton Towers, but rather than return to Sheffield I want to go to Nottingham. The cheapest way I have worked out to do this is by using a single Sheffield - Nottingham (with a break of journey in Derby), and a day return Derby-Uttoxeter.

Now, is this valid? And will I be able to book seats on a morning train for the Sheffield --> Derby leg of the journey, and an evening train for the Derby --> Nottingham part, all on the same ticket?

Many thanks!

Isn't there still an all-in-one admission & travel ticket for Alton Towers?

Sheffield to Nottingham + YP Railcard: £6.25
Derby to Uttoxeter Return + YP Railcard: £4.30

Total: £10.55

Derbyshire Wayfarer: £8.30
Long Eaton to Nottingham + YP Railcard: £2.05

Total: £10.35

So yeah, I take your point it is slightly cheaper, but I was actually hoping to get an Off-Peak return to Nottingham, so that I could come back on a direct train on Monday.
