hi everyone
I'm taking the family to Southampton later this summer. We live in Glasgow.
Ideally because of the long journey time for the kids I'd split the journey overnight in Wolverhampton however I don't think my off-peak return would be valid the next day.
So the ideal is
14.00 (Thursday) Glasgow -Wolverhampton
09.42 (Friday) Wolverhampton - Southampton C
Return a week later on Friday leaving Southampton in mid-morning.
Am I right that I can't use a Thursday dated Glasgow-Southampton off peak return, because the condition is that I complete my journey by 04.29 on Friday.
Any other suggestions that would keep costs down - with the family railcard it looks like just under £280 for the off peak return, I can see a single on the Friday morning for about £60 extra which looks good value if I do need that extra ticket.
Many thanks
Kevin
