Super off peak return (London Bridge)

[leep90]

Hi, looking at some ticketing options for London, with the super off peak return it states about not being valid for services arriving before 10:45 at London Bridge, if the train is booked to arrive at 10:45 would this be a valid ticket or not? Thanks in advance

Yes, a valid ticket for a 10:45 public timetable arrival time.
Restriction PB I guess

Outward Travel​
Restricted Days: Monday to Friday Mondays to Fridays​
Not valid on trains timed to into arrive London Terminals before 10:45. Not valid on trains timed to pass through London Bridge after 04:29 or before 10:45, regardless of where you join or leave the service.

eg 9S18 09:44 Brighton-Cambridge

Yes the code is PB. Just seen to be getting mixed results for looking for tickets.

For example I can book Arundel to London Victoria (arr 10:45) and it gives the super off peak return option. However if I try to go to London Bridge changing to a TL service booked to arrive at 10:45 no such option is available.

Is it that it must be one train or the same operator although they are both GTR.

Thanks

GTR apparently did not bother creating any Super Off-Peak Day Return fare between Arundel and London Bridge, especially none with restriction code PB.
What this means for you is that you are required to pay the additional fare to London Bridge.

Also, be advised that split ticketing might be cheaper for your journey. Our forum's ticket page will happily offer you valid split tickets as well as an accompanying itinerary; and charges no booking fee on regular tickets.
(UPDATE: I checked whether any useful split fares are available, this is not the case - just go with the Super Off-Peak Day Travelcard with restriction code PB for £33.30)

Thanks for the wealth of knowledge.

The “super off peak day return” ticket is explicitly to London Victoria, not London Terminals, hence excludes London Bridge.

You can get a super off peak day Travelcard with the same restriction, which is clearly valid to London Bridge, but this might not meet your needs.

I think you can buy a Havant to London Bridge via Three Bridges Super Off Peak Day Return for the same price.
