Transport for Greater Manchester have issued a little guide "Choosing the best value train ticket. 2016."
Under the section heading "Save Money. Choose the time you travel." it states...
Is this last piece of information correct?
I had previously understood, rightly or wrongly, that if a journey (wholly within Greater Manchester and without changing trains) started before 16.01 but ended at sometime between 16.01 and 18.29, was o.k. on an off-peak ticket.

TfGM said:"Train travel in Greater Manchester is more expensive on weekdays when you travel before 09.30 and between 16.01 and 18.29. These times are called peak times and tickets and travelcards that include travel at these times are called Anytime tickets.
Of course you can save money if you don't travel at these times. Travelcards and tickets that don't let you travel at these times are called off-peak tickets.
Before you choose an off-peak ticket or travelcard, make sure you won't be making any part of your journey during the peak times shown above."
