There are two of us, we have advance purchase tickets from Fort William to London on the sleeper but a change of plans means that one or both of us will have to start the journey from Edinburgh rather than Fort William.
Does anyone know if it would be problematic to pick up the train at its late night stop in Edinburgh, using those tickets? Or will we have to buy completely new ones.
Plus a secondary question: we are travelling on a disabled railcard, so both of our tickets are discounted. One possibility is that one of us could start the journey in Fort William, with the other (the railcard holder) joining the train at Edinburgh. Am I thinking this would mean that the non-railcard holder's ticket is invalid for the FTW-EDB section as they would not be accompanied by the railcard holder (even though they could show that two tickets were purchased for the journey)? If so, would it be a simple matter of paying the difference for what the ticket would have cost without the discount, or again would it be a whole new ticket?
