Season ticket advice sought.

Evening all.

I'm shortly moving to Edgbaston but keeping my job in Worcester, so I'm going to have to become a commuter and take the train from University to Shrub Hill every morning.

Obviously a season ticket is the sensible option, but I'm wondering, would I be able to use a Birmingham Stations to Worcester Stations ticket if I'm normally starting my journey at University? It'd give me more options to get home in an evening, as the Kidderminster-Stourbridge-Snow Hill line has a more frequent service than the Bromsgrove-University-New Street line.

Yes, that would be fine. It's valid both ways and you can break your journey wherever you want (so starting from University is fine)

Brilliant, thanks.

So presumably if I wanted to visit the Severn Valley Railway on a weekend, I could do UNI-BHM-BMO-KID on the same ticket?

Yes; a season ticket is valid for an unlimited number of journeys, and you can just use part of a route between the start and end stations.

A University-Worcester ticket would also be valid via Kidderminster. It costs as much as a ticket from Birmingham Stations, so you can get whichever you prefer.
