Odd question here, wondering if any of you can help!
I've got a gold card between Watford Junction and Wolverton to get to work. It is valid via any permitted route.
Yesterday a couple of trains on the London Midland route were cancelled. I was looking to travel from London Euston north, and so approached the ticket office at Euston to see if I could purchase a ticket from Euston to Watford and then use the GC from Watford north, but if this would be valid on Virgin services - seeing as a couple of LM trains were cancelled.
The ticket office advised that they could sell me a ticket from Euston to Watford but that it would only be valid on LM services- the reason being that "here at Virgin Trains we don't accept the gold card".
Was just wondering if anyone could explain if this is the right reasoning, or if it's just that because no Virgin trains stop at Watford at that time of the day, my ticket wouldn't be valid as the train doesn't call there?
Thank you in advance!
