travelling non stop on two tickets

[David Sinnett]

I have a monthly Bedford London ticket but want to go to Leicester one evening. If I buy a Bedford Leicester ticket can I travel from London on a train that doesnt stop at Bedford and if not why not as I feel I've paid for the mileage.

No you cannot.
The reason is that you have a ticket that says you boarded the train at Bedford. If the train didn't stop there, you cannot have done that.

Incorrect. As one of the tickets is a season ticket and the other is not, then the OP is permitted to split tickets at Bedford.

See section 19 of the Conditions of Carriage: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/system/galleries/download/misc/NRCOC.pdf

Oops. I missed the word 'monthly' in the OP...

The word "monthly" in irrelevant in this situation since all seasons are covered by Condition 19.

So if he had a Weekly, Monthly or Yearly season he would still be able to board a non-stop service.

I know. But I read it as a 'Bedford to London ticket'. In other words, I thought it was a day ticket being referred to.
