In which case I'd assume that as long as you enter station property by noon, it would be considered that you recommenced your journey by noon.


"Normally" be barred??



I believe that a saver (off-peak) is cheaper than an open (peak), becaue the railway is trying to encourage people off overcrowded services onto
services with capacity.

Therefore doing this would achieve what the railway wants and is in no way stealing the revenue you try so hard to "protect".



So now the passenger has no right to pick any permitted route for his or her journey despite the fact that all ToCs will receive money from the ticket sale even if a day single ticket is sold at a time it is too late to complete the journey via one route?


Let's start a competition to think of the worst possible places where you might have to stay under W14Fishbourne's interpretation.

I can think of Westerfield (getting a London - Lowestoft train after the last Felixstowe train has left Ipswich). Long walk into Ipswich for a Hotel.

Georgemas Junction is very remote though you may point out that all trains call at thurso and wick

Dovey Junction - also very remote and could be a rough night...

Thornaby would be a pretty damned bleak place to connect at night, i'm sure there are many more thrown up by the NR website.

Back on topic, the most ripped off I've ever felt in 1st was on a midday 450 from Soton to Waterloo,
rock hard 2+2 seats and no privacy, nothing special at all. Would have waited for the following wessex but was already late for my connection from KX. Sadly that was my last ever chance for a 442 as well :(
