I was at Marlow about 0930 on Friday and tried to select a railcard discount only to find that that it wasn't valid at this time. Confused I walked off and saw a small poster written by a Local Line Group association explaining the peak times for this route. Apparently 0958 is the end of the peak for Marlow. The next train was at 1000. There were about 7 people waiting at the ticket machine at 0958.
I'm only familiar with peak time ending at 0930. Why is gWr different in this respect?
The ticket machine did kick in with the railcard discount at about 0945 before everyone arrived but I was surprised with the ticket machine forbidding the discount. I'm used to machines just letting you buy whatever you like and the guard/inspector/gateline assistant reprimanding you afterwards.
