"do not have to use a train which stops at the station where the tickets change"

I recently noticed a publication of Luton Council on the bus passes for the over 60s and disabled: these passes now give a 50% discount on the trains between Bedford and Elstree. It explicitly says that you can use this discount in combination with a normal ticket for the remainder of a journey (e.g. from Elstree to London) but that you do not have to use a train which stops at Elstree to do this.
This seems to overturn the usual ticketing rules where, unless one ticket is a season or zonal and the other is not, you can only combine tickets on a train which stops at the change-over point.
Does anyone know whether the council have negotiated a special deal with the local train companies (I assume it would apply to MML as well as to the service formerly known as Thameslink) or can discounted tickets be used generally in such combinations? I have always assumed not.
