My daughter is looking to get back from Uni at Easter.
She has a 16-25 railcard.
Basically we could do (A) a slightly disgusting advance split ticket thing for roughly £89, (B) a less disgusting split for £99 ish, or (C) a Super Off-Peak Return for £109 ish.
Frankly I'm happy to pay the extra for the Super Off-Peak Return as it also means she can change her mind about when she goes back.
Soooo, this is all a long winded way of asking if she needs to bother buying the Super Off-Peak Return in advance or if she can happily get it for the same price at a walk-up ticket machine on the day of travel...? My understanding is that you can buy those on the day for the same price.
As a followup question... What are the practical implications of valid travel times on a Super Off-Peak Return (Sheffield to West Cowes) on Mondays? It seemed pretty lenient - no matter what start times we picked for either the outgoing or return we still seemed to be offered the super off-peak return tickets as an option.
