I've got a friend who's currently in Canterbury and is looking for advice about his trip home to Dundee tomorrow.
Basically, he as (the return portion of) a super off-peak return that's +Any Permitted and has a reservation on the 10.00 from King's Cross to Dundee (KGX-DEE). That raised alarm bells with me, given that a 10am departure from KGX means peak travel from Canterbury. He says he's scheduled to get the 08.25 from Canterbury West (CBW).
So my question (from the alarm bells) is - has he been sold the right ticket? Does "super off-peak" refer to the core of his journey (i.e. KGX-DEE), or will he have a problem leaving CBW?
And his question (assuming he can travel from CBW peak) is - can he catch an earlier train?
Thanks in advance (from both of us!).
