AFAICS, there doesn't need to be an easement because Stalybridge -
Manchester is mapped on both MR and GM, and Manchester - Donny via
Sheffield is on PS.

If I could go via Denton, I reckon it would be 63'11, which is indeed
shorter than via leeds at 65'05 and via ManP which is 68'19.

In the event, we asked for a cheap day return from SYB to DON, and then
once the tickets had been issued, we asked if they were valid via Leeds.
The answer was "Yes".

We went out via ManP, and having got to Doncaster, we asked for times of
trains back to SYB, and the person in the office wrote out on a piece of
paper for us: Doncaster 1357 Leeds 1435 - 1510 Stalybridge 1545, which
is what we did. Well, we would have done, if it hadn't been for the 1357
being cancelled - we went on the local from Donny to Leeds half an our
earlier instead. On neither of the occasions our tickets were checked on
each leg of this journey was any query raised about them.
