Default a quick ticketing query

What rules out combining tickets when travelling on Virgin?


Definitely, the fact that legally speaking, Virgin don't operate
trains between Watford and London, so boarding one that's physically
there would risk getting you charged the full single fare from Preston/
Crewe/Milton Keynes depending on where it came from.

Possibly also the fact that they're an ex-Intercity TOC and therefore
*some* forms of local London/NSE ticket aren't valid. Although on
reflection I'm not sure this includes Day Travelcards and BZ tickets
(does include freedom passes and network cards).
