After reading some more recent comments, I suspect this is specific to the super off peak thameslink only - not available due to gateline programming?

SWR don't issue any Super Off-Peak (or Evening Out or Sunday Out) tickets on Smartcard, but they most definitely do issue Offpeak Day Travelcards

Can anyone give any practical reasons why railway Smartcards aren't interchangeable, with tickets (non-PAYG ones) loadable from the full range of ticket sellers? The current setup is both grossly inefficient and completely confusing for the customer
