ticket

[robbj001]

I purchased an internet advance ticket to travel from Loughborough to London. It would be more convenient to travel from Leicester to London, Instead of travelling to Loughborough to pick up the train and travelling back to Leicester to London. Would I be able to get on the train at Leicester?

If martyn is on duty on the barriers I'm sure he'll show discretion

You may have to buy a ticket to somewhere like South Wigston to get past the barriers as Advance tickets are apparently only officially valid from the start station named on the ticket. It's just an excuse to extract more revenue from people though as you've paid for the journey.

Thanks that was very helpful.

Does a guard check the tickets on the train fom Leicester to London?

Yeah, probably, so if he checked them after Loughborough, he'd know your new, and might do something

But you might have been in the toilet!

Pretty unlikely IMO - unless you've got a Krypton Factor-winning memory!
