Hi all, tomorrow I am planning on going around Derbyshire, using a Derbyshire Wayfarer Ranger ticket, to follow the UKR Railtour. However, I'm unsure about the validity of my ticket on my return journey.
So what I want to do is complicated so hear me out, and sorry if this gets at all confusing.
- First, I'm getting an Anytime Day Return from Tamworth to Willington
- After seeing the tour at Willington, I'm going to have to double back and go to Burton-on-Trent, since the next train towards Derby that stops at Willington isn't for two more hours, which is too late for me. Instead of doubling back on my Anytime Day Return, I want to buy a separate Single ticket for this journey, this'll hopefully make sense when I explain my return plans.
- Once I get to Burton-on-Trent, I want to buy the Wayfarer from the ticket office there, and after that I'll use it as normal to visit a couple of stations.
- The thing I'm unsure about is the return. I'll be taking the 16:38 departure from Derby. This train doesn't stop at Willington, but my Wayfarer is valid to Burton-on-Trent, and since I haven't used the return journey of my Tamworth-Willington return, would that would still be valid from Burton-on-Trent to Tamworth?
Any advice on whether this plan is allowed would be greatly appreciated
