Title: Another successful split ticket report Post by: hoover50 on June 26, 2019, 21:48:38 I usually work from home but once a week I need to travel from Pewsey to London for meetings, returning the same day.
The only catch is that the trains I use must stop at Newbury. Title: Re: Another successful split ticket report Post by: grahame on June 27, 2019, 05:45:15 I usually work from home but once a week I need to travel from Pewsey to London for meetings, returning the same day.
The only catch is that the trains I use must stop at Newbury. I need clarification from an expert on this one but I note an easement and suspect it may provide a couple of alternatives ... is a stop at Newbury needed? ... does a Pewsey to Newbury ticket cover you all the way to Reading (and if so, is that only in the case of your train not calling at Newbury?) Without clear confirmation, the alternatives I mention are not things I am sure about, and I would not use them; they may work in theory, but they are not how the system is intended to work and might not be appreciated in certain circles. Quote 700391 Doubleback Customers travelling from Newbury via Bedwyn may double back via Reading. This easement applies in both directions.

It is how I travelled back from Westbury with a Newbury split on our recent Coffee Shop meeting.
