Who decided that advance tickets should include and connections? For example to get from Weymouth to York via Kings Cross you could use an advance ticket.
However to get from Weymouth to Hastings you can't get an advanced purchase ticket I believe. Yet both cross multiple TOCs.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just using random examples without actually checking them off hand.

Not sure they originally included connections at all. They were products of the InterCity sector and later TOCS, and it's relatively recently that other TOC's have taken it up.
