Thanks for the swift responses everyone- it looks like the ticket is not valid before 12:00.
I’ll recommend my friend requests the return half of the ticket be excessed to off peak at the booking office prior to travel or if the office is not open approaches the guard immediately after boarding.
Thanks for the feedback - I’ll certainly book the Avanti; GNER and Cross Country trips. Also planning to do Cardiff - Manchester with TFW so will also book that

Am I correct in thinking I won’t experience any problems with stopping short at one of Redruth or Truro on a Axminster - Penzance off peak day return? I intend to return from Penzance
If I’m likely to experience issues at the gateline I‘ll buy an Axminster - Plymouth return and a Cornwall Day...
Beware the 12:29 is usually only a single 3 car unit until Salisbury so will be rather ‘cosy’.
The 2 later trains you can catch are both usual 6 car so will have more room.
Thanks for the replies - I think I’ll abandon the idea of going via Castle Cary and check out how full Crewkerne station car park is on Saturday evening if full I’ll drive straight to Yeovil Junction on Sunday morning as there’s always spaces there.
I’m travelling to from Crewkerne to Newcastle on Sunday 12th May, with a Super Off-peak Single route any permitted.
As it can sometimes be difficult to park at Crewkerne, I may have to drive to Yeovil Junction to park.
I’m intending to catch the 09:20 to connect with the 13:00 from Kings Cross...
I’ve been looking at ticket options for Crewkerne- Newcastle return via LNER. 2 Super off peak singles work out at £154.10 with a Senior Railcard.
I ‘ve previously looked up the Crewkerne-Glasgow fare which is £153.50 for an Off peak return again with Senior Railcard.
If I booked this ticket am...
Assuming the strike on November 26 goes ahead does anyone have any idea what time the last train Waterloo -Crewkene is likely to be on the 25th?
I have an appointment in London that afternoon and I d want to risk getting stranded. (Should be able to make the 17:20)
Many thanks

Many thanks Pugwash for a very comprehensive response.
It looks like I can’t return via the S&C then Leeds - Kings Cross ( not sure it’s viable option to return via Sheffield-St Pancras then back to Axminster in a day) but I’ll check once I‘ve decided on the dates.
If not practical it’s out via...
Hi
I’m going to do a Freedom of Scotland later this year travelling from Axminster.
Checking fares to Glasgow an off peak return, route any permitted ( with Maltese Cross) restriction 5F cost £135.75 (standard class) would appear to allow travel via Exeter or via London.Am I correct in assuming...
Is Salisbury- Romsey- Eastleigh - Hedge End -Portsmouth Hbr a valid route?
The routing guide appears to suggest it isn’t and you have to go via Southampton.
I’d like to travel out that way and return via Southampton.
Don’t know if it’s relevant but I intend using an off peak day return
Many...
