Can delays permit me to taken an earlier train?

Accepted answer

According to the terms and conditions for advance fare tickets, you are not allowed to do so:

If you purchase an Advance ticket, you must use that ticket in the train specified when you book your ticket. However, if you miss this service because a previous connecting train service was delayed you will be able to travel on the next service provided by the Train Company with whom you were booked to travel without penalty.

So if you miss a connection because a previous train was delayed, you are allowed to use the next connection to reach your destination. You are not allowed to take an earlier train, even if it is expected that the booked train is delayed and you therefore will miss a connection.

I have no idea how the train staff will react if you try to do so.
