The service starts at Leeds at 1017, and arrives into Heysham Docks at 1300. The same train then departs Heysham at 1317. It'd be a tight connection to catch the train at Leeds, too. These rovers are only valid for travel after 08:30am on weekdays, so it'd be the 08:35am CrossCountry service to York that you'd have to catch, followed by an 8-minute connection to the 09:40 TPX service to Leeds.
An alternative would be to catch the train from Lancaster instead. It arrives into Lancaster at 12:11 but doesn't depart until 12:33.
The 08:24 Northern service (calls at Metrocentre at 0832) to Carlisle (arr 0957) followed by a connection to the 10:08 Virgin Trains service to Lancaster (arr 10:57) would work well. It'd allow for a bit of time in Lancaster for photos / food etc, so I'd be tempted to do it that way.
