Validity of a combination of a TfL Staff Pass and a point-to-point season ticket on Virgin is dependent on two things, which nobody seems to be able to provide a definitive answer for:
- Does a TfL Staff Pass count as a Season Ticket for the purposes of Condition 19(c) of the NRCoC?
- Does Watford Junction being pick up only Northbound and set down only Southbound count as a station "call" for the purposes of Condition 19(b)?
If the answer to both of those is yes, then such a combination
IS valid on Virgin, otherwise you have to use London Midland between Coventry/Rugby/Milton Keynes Central and Euston (depending on the VT calling pattern).
My own interpretation is that it
does count as a Season, but that Watford Junction
does not count as a station call, as a Single ticket from London to Watford Junction on its own would not be valid on a VT service that was pick up only at Watford Junction, nor would a Single from Watford Junction to London be valid on a service that was set down only at Watford Junction.
That you'll "get away" with same if there's no ticket check between Euston and Watford Junction doesn't affect the validity.
But we've had this argument several times before and still not managed to get a definitive answer, as all of the parties involved pass the buck to one of the others!
