LM Super Off Peak Return on Saturdays

[mullin]

Hello all,

I'm need to book a Super Off Peak Return to travel on Saturday 22nd Feb from Euston to Liverpool Lime Street.

I can only get LM's site to show the £30 fare as being valid on 4 trains; 1 an hour on the :46 departure (from 10:46 to 13:46)


Is there some restrictions I can't find online that say trains after the 13:46 aren't valid for travel?


Thanks in advance for any help!

I suspect that later return journeys are not shown due to the timing of the connecting service from Stafford falling foul of the restriction.

Beware that restrictions apply on Saturdays too, but in this case as long as you commenced your journey at a valid time, you may finish your journey.

!

Journeys starting between 16:30 and 19:30 are also not valid.
However, the journey planner does not allow a change of trains at those times.
This is wrong, but it's been like that for years, so I wouldn't expect it to be fixed any time soon.

You can find the restrictions online at brfares.com, but I don't know of an official way to find them - I haven't been able to even get an LM only itinerary from National Rail. (That one has only been wrong for months...)

My guess is that the booking system sees you joining a train at Stafford at 1710 which is a barred time, and does not realise that the restriction text refers to the starting station on the ticket.

You'll be able to use the ticket just fine on that service.
