Nope, I can't see any reason why you would either.

Very odd.
The Off Peak Day isn't a protected fare, is it?

No, it's not.
Regulated and protected fares are described by DfT in paragraphs 12 - 43 of Rail Fares and Ticketing Review: Initial consultation.

Then it's very odd why it should be cheaper.
Sometimes some unusual or less popular regulated fares decrease in price during price increases, as the relevant cap relates only to an aggregate across a TOC's entire fare bucket. Thus, some fares on more popular routes rise by more than the cap.
One can only surmise that this is some sort of error by SWR.
Thanks for that. I should have thought to try that myself but BRFares has never let me down before!

They only get and update the fares data every major fares revision (3 times a year). Hence any outdated tickets etc. will not be corrected until May I believe.
BRfares shows what was in the fares database on the date specified at the bottom of the page (currently 2 January 2018).
