I need to get to Aldgate before 09:45 next Friday (29th) so have will have to cough up the full anytime fare.
Looking on NRE, I note the following:
St Albans City - Zones 1-6 Travelcard anytime return - £28.10
St Albans Abbey - Zones 1-6 Travelcard anytime return - £25.30
With the MLL's current reliability issues and the fact that the Abbey station is a shorter walk, that route seems the better option. Looking at the train times offered, it is clear that the 40 minute interval over the Abbey line dictates the journey time and/or duration.
Using the National Rail enquiries webpage, I normally enter a return journey to a London Terminal (St Pancras or Euston respectively for the above two tickets) and then use the "Travelcard fares from" button to get the correct ticket type. The normal train times offered are for a change to a West Midland Trains service at Watford Junction, however there are also times for journeys via the MML shown as:
'walk to St Albans City, TL to St Pancras then LU to Euston'
Given the attractiveness of the lower cost Abbey line route tickets, does this mean that those tickets can always be used to travel by the MML route as a permitted route?
