Boarding a train in the UK at a later calling station, on an advanced purchase (train specific) ticket

This question is not about breaking a train journey in the United Kingdom.

I wanted return tickets from London to Bicester. Thanks to an offer, I have purchased return tickets from London to Birmingham, calling at Bicester. I am fairly confident that I can use these tickets to disembark at Bicester, and not go all the way to Birmingham. Please correct me if this is not possible. Similarly on the return journey to London, can I board the scheduled train from Bicester instead of Birmingham?
