Some help with this train Journey please - london

skyjumper

Hi all,

hoping to get some help with the following.

I'm traveling from Manchester Picadilly to Watford Junction going t'row and coming back on Sunday. I haven't taken the tickets yet and was planning to take it at the train station t'row.

This is my plan Man Pic-Wembley Central - Watford and also coming back on Sunday the same Watford - Wembley Central - Manchester.

Now I may need to be in Wembley for 1-2 hrs, and was wondering if I take a ticket to Watford Junction through london stations, would I be able to break the journey at Wembley. Is this allowed?

I'm hoping to ask this question at the ticket window t'row, but was hoping to get an answer/advice regarding this here.

thanks in advance

It depends entirely on what sort of ticket you have - with an anytime or off peak or super off peak ticket it would be allowed. With an 'advance' ticket, no it wouldn't. ('Advance' is a ticket type - not a description of when you buy it)

thanks for that dzug1

I'm hoping to get a Off peak anytime ticket as I'm traveling only over the weekend. Decided to go to the train station in the morning and find out from there. Hope the guy giving the ticket knows what I'm talking abt.

I too hope the guy selling the tickets can work out what you want.

You will surely confuse him/her when you ask about Off Peak Anytime tickets.

Usually an Off Peak ticket can be used at anytime at weekends, but an Anytime ticket can be used at anytime too but is more expensive.

Good job that they simplified the ticketing a couple of years ago, isn't it?

Why do you want to go from Manchester to Watford Junction via London though? It would surely be cheaper to go direct and get a local ticket to Wembley?

Or don't Manchester trains stop at Watford Junction? Says he too lazy to check.
