Let's say I want to travel from Cambridge to Tottenham Hale. As I need to be there at a specific time in the morning, I buy an advanced ticket. However, on this particular day, a ticket to Liverpool Street is actually cheaper than to Tottenham Hale (obviously travelling and stopping at Tottenham Hale). The train arrives Tottenham Hale at 9:18, and almost certainly the gates wouldn't open, as I'm of course not allowed to stop short on an advanced ticket.
However, I will also have an off-peak Z1-6 day travelcard between Cambridge and London (GA only). On this route the train is considered peak if it arrives in London after 10am - which is why I need an additional advanced ticket for the morning outbound journey. However, can I in theory just wait for 12 minutes at the platforms, and then exit the station using my off-peak travelcard?
