London - Birmingham cheap day single

I want to travel from London - Birmingham (one way) with break of journey at Milton Keynes. There is a £27.40 CDS shown on trainline but only next to Marylebone services. Clicking on the conditions this fare does not state it is restricted to Chiltern (there is a cheaper fare that DOES state CHILTERN only). Referring to the Virgin timetable there is nothing to indicate that cheap day tickets are not valid.

So I think the CDS should be valid for the 15:00 Virgin service from Euston, but trainline implies otherwise.

Does anyone know?

    The £27.40 is route High Wycombe. It's not Chiltern only because from Banbury to Birmingham there are other operators you could use.

    There's a £21.80 Silverlink/Central only CDS that you could use via Milton Keynes (and Northampton).

    There's no cheap Virgin fare for walk on journeys.
