Waverley to Haymarket

[VauxhallandI]

I'm on the 10:30 ex Kings Cross to Waverley.

My ticket is to Edinburgh* and the TM said it was valid to Haymarket.

However I've just looked at train times and there are plenty of options but I didn't ask him about TOC validity.

Any clues folks?

There is a general understanding that tickets to Waverley are valid at Haymarket. You won't get any hassle even if the ticket doesn't open the barrier. There won't be a ticket check between the two stations either.

Even those nasty buggers on Cross Country?

I have to get off this VTEC

It's about three minutes between the stations at worst. I have *never* seen a guard even attempt a ticket check until after leaving Haymarket.

Officially it's not valid but unofficially Edinburgh tickets are accepted at Haymarket.

Gate at Waverley asked my destination and gate at Haymarket was happy too.

I usually get a coach done between Edinburgh & Haymarket. The sooner you start the sooner you finish.

Gate at Waverley asked my destination...

Didn't realise they'd been programmed to speak!

Edinburgh and Haymarket tickets are interchangeable by local agreement.

Some TPE trains, and maybe others, aren't advertised at Waverley as calling at Haymarket as the stop is only to pickup, so technically would be unavailable for the transfer. I find it highly unlikely, though, that any problem would arise from using them.

I hopped on a Scotrail service so all went well
