Yes, the Off Peak Singles between Okenholme Lake District and Motherwell, and reverse, are ^10.25 each. Title: Re: Fare query - Melksham to Motherwell return trip Post by: grahame on July 04, 2015, 06:12:40 Thank you ... they're going to love me buying that little lot ;) ... just need to check through the meaning of "off peak" in each case. Sunday OK ... do any have evening restrictions for Wednesday?
Title: Re: Fare query - Melksham to Motherwell return trip Post by: Adelante_CCT on July 04, 2015, 09:35:10 As far as I'm aware they are just standard not before 09:30 etc, the evening should be fine
Title: Re: Fare query - Melksham to Motherwell return trip Post by: JayMac on July 04, 2015, 12:48:42 None of the tickets have evening restrictions.
You can leave Motherwell, Oxenholme Lake District, Preston and Crewe on any train after 0415. Restriction 2T (http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/ticket_types/62053.aspx) Crewe to Wolverhampton is valid on any train after 0900. Restriction CS (http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/ticket_types/62310.aspx) That means realistically, based on the timetable, you can travel on any train from Motherwell from the 0604 onward.
