which I didn't want to post on again as it would just show as addition to my previous post, and probably remain out of sight(?)...
I have now checked my tickets for Sunday 21st, and there is only one reservation coupon, for Hereford to Crewe. The route is "AP Shrewsbury", validity "booked train [singular] only".
Just wondering whether this negates the requirement to take the ATW Chester train from Crewe, or could I jump on the LM to Liverpool South Parkway, even though that wasn't the itinerary on my original booking?
Don't know how the guard on the LM would know what route had been booked, unless there's reservation coupons for every service that day. If I present to him/her a journey ticket saying Hereford to Southport, issued as 02 coupons, route AP Shrewsbury, I'll have effectively covered all the aspects of the ticket, as there's no way to tell what train I should be on once I've reached Crewe.
I probably will go via Chester, for one reason having posted this I'll be identifiable by my specific 'from-to' ticket, but for future reference what's the rule when there is no coupon for a particular leg of a journey on an Advance ticket?
