Before last year's ticket simplification, I understand that on weekday's you couldn't buy a ticket with a 16-25 railcard discount before 10am on most walk-on tickets unless it was in July or August. Since then I have noticed that Northern now seem to allow 16-25 discounts after 9.30am, and while pricing up an Off-Peak Return ticket to Milton Keynes Central for tomorrow I noticed that even though I intend to start my journey well before 10am/9.30am/whatever the limit is these days, National Rail says that I can get a 16-25 discount.
The journey in concern is from Appley Bridge to Milton Keynes Central, leaving Appley Bridge at 8.45am, arriving into Milton Keynes Central at 11.46am, returning via Birmingham New Street on the 12.13pm (the service currently diagrammed for the 90 + Mk3s, and the reason for doing this). National Rail advertises the Off-Peak Return fare at £34.25 with 16-25 discount, and I am allowed to go via Birmingham.
Is National Rail telling the truth and I can use my railcard on this journey? Any prompt help will be greatly appreciated.
