These fares can be purchased immediately before travel, and permit travel on any trains providing you go via Birmingham and Stoke (which is the 'usual' route), the trains must call at Stoke, all trains via this route call at Stoke. This gives you complete flexibility, with the exception that you may not go via Crewe, but most journey opportunities are via Stoke so that should not present a problem.

This works out at £18.30 each (counting children & adult equally) which is not bad for flexible tickets that do not have to be booked in advance, you can get any trains as long as you go via Birmingham & Stoke, avoiding London.

I only have NFM05 but The Super Off Peak Return dosen't appear to be valid on a Saturday for any train leaving london before 1100.

The OP wants to be in Stockport by 1300.

Hi, just check that either you (or another person) travelling with the group is named on the railcard!

As the railcard is only valid when the named card holder(s) are travelling with the group.

Need to get to Stockport by 13.00, need to get back for the same night

Do you have any more flexibility on the arrival time, given that Stockport County v Wycombe Wanderers is a 3 p.m. kick-off?
