That doesn't make sense to me as when I buy a London Terminals ticket, there is always a specific route! So I can't travel from Kidderminster to Marylebone and then back from Paddington, as it is either "route High Wycombe" or "route Worcester". Perhaps if I dug a little further, I would find an Any Permitted - but I expect it is A LOT more expensive.
According to
Avantix▸ there's an off-peak return routed 'Birmingham' at ^43.50 (NFM03 prices). I take it that would be valid to Euston, Marylebone, or Paddington (via Brum)?
The cheapest return fare listed is a London Midland only Super Off-Peak return ticket at ^15 - did you know about that one Btline? Restrictions are:
Restriction : LK
MONDAYS to FRIDAYS:
Not valid for travel on London
Midland services timed to
ARRIVE London Terminals before
1300.
Not valid for travel on
northbound London Midland
services timed to DEPART
London Terminals or any other
station, before 1030.
RETURN TRAVEL
Not valid for travel on London
Midland services timed to
DEPART any station between
1630 and 1930 in either
direction unless a connecting
service is being used to
complete a journey begun at a
valid time.
So I could go to Euston and return from Paddington, so long as I travelled via B'ham?
I know about the
LM▸ fare. Every so often, the LM site allows you to reserve a seat on a
VT▸ service with that fare!
