Hi, maybe i'm being a bit thick but i've tried and failed several times to find out what the Off Peak time window is for this train (and the return). Where can I find the answer please?

Standard class is 8X:
Outward Travel & Return Travel​
Monday-Friday​
Not valid on trains timed to depart before 05:00.
That’s for the standard class off peak return ticket
First class is 2V:
Outward Travel & Return Travel​
Monday to Friday​
Not valid for trains scheduled to depart after 04:29 and before 09:30.

If you know the two character restriction code for your ticket, you can look it up, for example https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ticket-types/validity/8x/

Note that Off-Peak times are not fixed across all journeys or operators - they depend on the exact fare you have bought. As @jfollows has quoted, it can even vary between standard and first class versions of the equivalent fare.

It's best to refer to the restriction code associated with the ticket you're going to buy. This should generally be indicated when you buy your ticket. In any event, you will only be offered Off-Peak fares for trains on which they are valid.
