Title: Query Off Peak times from Thames Valley to Padd Post by: eightf48544 on September 12, 2014, 12:11:40 Had a query about whether Off Peak tickets can used to return the following day from Padd.
I thought all Off Peak returns from ex NSE stations to London are valid on day of issue only, but could be used up until around 04.00 if there are night trains (as there are at Padd) otherwise until the last train from London. Title: Re: Query Off Peak times from Thames Valley to Padd Post by: JayMac on September 12, 2014, 13:17:37 An Off Peak Day Return (formerly Cheap Day Return -CDR) is valid until 0429 on the day after the date printed on the ticket. All travel must be completed by this time.
There are Off Peak Returns (formerly Saver Returns - SVR) for journeys to/from London available from stations in the former Network SouthEast area. I don't think there is any hard or fast rule as to where these are or aren't offered. A cursory look at a few fares suggests that the closer you are to London, the less likely it will be that there is an Off Peak Return (SVR) available.

A cursory look at a few fares suggests that the closer you are to London, the less likely it will be that there is an Off Peak Return (SVR) available. Having investigated in depth a few years ago, the distance from London when SVRs become available seems to be about 35-40 miles. There are a few exceptions, I think the main airports are the main examples. Paul.

They were only valid for return in 5 days IIRC rather than 1 month. Title: Re: Query Off Peak times from Thames Valley to Padd Post by: SDS on September 15, 2014, 14:44:43 I always thought it was anything over 30-50miles depending on the flow owner.
