Peterborough to Welling day return

[poshfan]

... on a Saturday. A friend wants to make this trip and asked me what ticket to get. If I type in Peterborough to Welling on the FCC booking sites, it offers "One Day Off Peak Travelcard - Peterborough to London Zones 1-6" price £37.50 as the cheapest option.

However if I type in Peterborough to London All Zones, I get offered "Super Off Peak Day Travelcard - Peterborough to London Zones 1-6" price £24. Is this valid to Welling? I am puzzled why is was not offered when I requested Welling as the destination.

Yes, that will be valid to Welling. Once you get to zone 6 the ticket just becomes a travelcard and there is only one off-peak version of those. The super off-peak refers only to the Peterborough to boundary zone 6 bit.

Edit: Also, the travelcard includes bus travel, so the 89 from round the corner from the station will take you along to the ground if you don't fancy walking.

Thanks very much!

The Super Off-Peak Travelcard £24 is routed FCC ONLY, whereas the Off-Peak Travelcard £37.50 is ANY PERMITTED. Thus your friend will have to take the slower First Capital Connect trains with the cheaper ticket
