Hi all, new member, long time lurker, but I’ve got a question that I can’t seem to sus! Wondering if anyone has the answer - I can’t seem to find it anywhere, but apologies if this has been asked before.
I live in Bridgend and work in Cardiff. In the morning, I catch the train at Sarn, and then travel to Ninian Park. The fare for an Anytime Day Return is £7.70. Any route is permitted. In the afternoon, I choose to walk to and board from Grangetown station due to the train times being better.
My question is:
Am I allowed to travel to/from Grangetown station if required, given that it is the exact same fare, and I have to change at Cardiff Central the same as from Ninian Park?
and further to that question- if I was to simply have a ticket from Cardiff Central to Bridgend, would I for instance be able to travel from, say Cogan all the way to Maesteg, with just a Cardiff-Bridgend ticket? (Again, the exact same price)
this may sound silly! But I’ve often thought; what would happen if I stayed on past Sarn, for example, and got off at Maesteg or something instead, would a guard make me get a new ticket, would I be committing an offence etc?
hope it makes sense anyway! looking forward to any input. Thanks.
