I recently booked a journey with Avanti from Wolverhampton to Euston on their website.
The cheapest and fastest option was Wolverhampton-Stafford and then Stafford-Euston.
£7.90 advance single with railcard - not a split ticket. And fast because it goes via the Trent Valley.
The only problem is, the ticket only allows 7 minutes for the change, the train is due in to Stafford at 1745 and the next one is due out at 1752.
The problem is if the first train is +2 or more then there are <5 mins, which is less than the minimum connection time.
If in the worst case, the first train pulls in when the second train is already at the platform, or I miss it all together, will I be expected to run?
Or will the 5 minutes always be respected?
