Travelling to the St Ives beer festival on Friday from Perranwell. Ideally I'd like the 0850 from Falmouth to stop at Perranwell so that I could pickup the 0941 from Truro to PZ but alas that's not to be. So I propose to drop down to Falmouth or Penryn on the 0826 and return immediately on the 0850 Falmouth Docks to Truro. Catching the 0950 ex Falmouth would mean arriving in St Ives at 1155 which really is a bit late to eat in advance.

So my ticket option would seem to be either
i) a Peak Day Return from Perranwell to Falmouth/Penryn and a Cheap Day Return from Perranwell to St Ives. or
ii) Single to Penryn and CDR▸ (Off Peak Day Return [ticket type] (formerly 'Cheap Day')) Penryn/St Ives.

Any other suggestions?

An Off Peak day return from Falmouth Docks to St Ives would be valid.

Technicly no, Perranwell-Penryn SDS then a Penryn -St Ives CDR▸ (Off Peak Day Return [ticket type] (formerly 'Cheap Day')) (which is valid after 0830 from Falmouth stations excepet Perranwell which is 0910 for some reason!)
