Off-Peak Tickets
Off-Peak tickets are cheaper
fares for travelling on trains that are less busy. Offering good value
for money, these tickets may require you to travel at specific times of
the day, days of the week and sometimes on specific routes.
On some journeys, there is an even cheaper level of fares with more restrictions. These are called Super Off-Peak tickets.
The
travel restrictions for your Off-Peak ticket will depend on the journey
you are making and will be advised when you buy your ticket. If you use
the online journey planner at www.nationalrail.co.uk it will
automatically work out what tickets are valid for your journey.
Single & Day Single - Valid for one Single journey between two stations on the date shown on ticket

Return
- Valid for one Return journey between two stations. Outward portion
valid for travel on date shown on ticket. Return portion valid for one
calendar month from start date shown on ticket.
Changing an Off-Peak ticket
These fares do not restrict you to
travelling on a specific train, but they do have restrictions on the
time you can travel. Check at the station before you travel, but you
may find you don't need to pay an additional fare as long as you
complete your journey within a calendar month for 'Off-Peak' tickets
and on the date shown on the ticket for 'Off-Peak Day' tickets.
