For almost all tickets, yes. Some Super Off-Peak tickets priced by Chiltern have time restrictions on Saturdays.
No tickets permit travel on Satarday, if an extra day is inserted into the calendar then I would expect only special services to operate, on which normal National Rail tickets would not be valid
Most Off Peak tickets are valid all day on Saturdays. It should be all Off Peak tickets but the TOCs decided that would be too simple for the new "simple" fare structure.:roll:
Yorkie feeling a little pedantic today
The spelling on here does seem to be going downhill. I've been tempted to make similar replies a couple of times. Sometimes it's so bad as to make the posts almost unintelligible - though not in this case.
Annoyed me when NXEC said goodbye by e-mail starting it by saying "You may of heard...". If I hadn't already been glad they were going that would have sealed it.

Sorry realise this going slightly further off topic, but people referring to "Alexander Palace" station has to be the biggest most annoying spellling error that I am aware of!

Don't forget St James Park in Exeter !
What about "advanced purchase tickets"?
This has annoyed me ever since I had a job at BR in the mid 90s when it was same even then.
There's nothing advanced about the tickets, they're just bits of paper. They are purchased in advance, which makes them "advance-purchase".

This is going off the original point a little, but the most recent mauling of the English language I heard, was a conductor [I won't say which TOC] announcing the train would be departuring at xxxx! At least he didn't give an estimated arrivalling time!!

Got to disagree there. The advanced prefixes purchase which is correct because they are purchased in advance. If it said "Purchase Advanced Tickets" then that would be wrong unless the tickets were actually called Advanced. Lose the end 'd' and it becomes correct nowadays as they are called Advance tickets.
You could say an advanced purchase has been carried out, i.e. you had advanced the purchase forward in time, but you cannot buy an "advanced purchase ticket" because no-one's bought it yet!
It has to be an advance-purchase ticket where the implication is that it is to be bought ahead of travel and "advance" is being used as an adjective (as in e.g. an advance payment).

Not to disagree, but I saw in Marylebone yesterday it said that there are no restrictions at weekends on Super Off Peak tickets from that station

That surprises me. For example, the current fares manual CD states:
