I need to make a journey from Scarborough to Wigan this Friday, returning Monday. I know what time I am leaving Scarborough, but not an idea about coming back - so an offpeak return is sounding my best bet.
As I don't have to be in Wigan until around 22:30 on Friday, and will be on the 16:48 from Scarborough, I'm thinking about having a play around with the trains to stop at as many stations as possible which I haven't previously travelled at.
So - I am looking at this as an itinerary:
Scarborough 16:48
Huddersfield 18:25 18:31
Stalybridge 19:01 19:46 (time for a pint at the station!)
Warrington Central 20:30 (walk)
Warrington Bank Quay (walk) 21:15
Wigan North Western 21:26
Then, coming back - this is my loose idea at present - but could change:
Wigan North Western 17:09
Warrington Bank Quay 17:20 (walk)
Warrington Central (walk) 18:04
Manchester Oxford Road 18:36 19:07
Leeds 20:09 20:29 (Harrogate loop)
York 21:47 22:10
Scarborough 22:59
Some questions:
1 - can anyone see any flaws in that?
2 - is it valid on the £61.70 advertised offpeak return?
3 - can anyone see a cheaper option by splitting tickets - bear in mind apart from the 16:48 from Scarborough, advance tickets aren't really likely to work?
4 - does it comply with the Routeing Guide?
Thanks in anticipation.
