I have been looking at an anytime day single ticket for two stations right next to each other on the same line, and have found that it is possible to set some "via" points for stations a fair bit further away (not ridiculously so however) on a few TOCs websites. Others though would not show any tickets for that via point, and trainsplit shows that the cheapest would be separate tickets from the origin to the via point, and from the via point to the destination station.
If I were to buy this ticket on one of the websites showing it as a route, would it be valid, even though it is a bit silly? What about if I used that ticket, but then broke my journey at that "via" point?
