In the past I have bought period Off Peak Returns from St Albans to Canterbury and travelled back on the 17.25 from Canterbury West.
Under restriction code 4F there was no restriction on return travel but now the 17.25 is showing up as unavailable and looking at he bottom of the text for 4F I can see that codes 7E and 9J also apply if travelling via St Pancras. These additional codes effectively stop any peak time travel through St Pancras.
Is this new, or have I just got away with it in the past by not specifying a particular return train when booking?
