Super off peak return from Sheffield to Euston

[grak]

Hiya, I have a super off peak return from Sheffield to Euston, only valid on cross country and liner trains. I want to leave between 5 and 7pm but can't see a way to meet the ticket requirements. I've already used the outbound ticket so this will be the return trip. What way can I go? I'm very confused.

Or, to travel between 1700 and 1900, excess it. Look at the other 'LNR and XC only' fares.

Off-peak return has restriction SK which appears OK. You only pay the difference between that and what you have already paid, about ten pounds.

Thank you for replying! So if i was wanting to travel after 7pm how could I go Sheffield to Euston?

I assumed from your first post that you were asking about the return half of a ticket from Sheffield, IE from London!
If your journey is the other way round, then 19:56 Sheffield-Tamworth 20:48
20:56 Tamworth-Euston 22:24

The same LG restriction applies to this ticket.

If you excess to the off-peak return, as @nwales58 has mentioned, you can use just about any train under restriction SK

Currently an extra £9.50 to pay to upgrade from an Super Off Peak Return to an Off Peak Return (assuming no applicable railcard discount)?
