Hi all,
I am looking at ticket options for a trip next week and it's thrown up something which to me is a bit odd. We wish to travel from Drem on 18/12/18 at 1735 to Glasgow, returning at about the same time the next day, with a two together card. The Scotrail website suggests an Off Peak Return will do the job for this, total price £32.30. It also suggests taking the 1815 from Edinburgh Waverley to Glasgow Queen Street on 18/12 and the 1730 from Queen Street to Waverley on the 19th.
I am a bit puzzled as I thought that the 1735 from Waverley and the 1730 from Queen Street were services for which a peak ticket is needed (I hope I have the terminology right here...) so how can an off peak ticket be OK here? Is it because the ticket is not to/from Edinburgh but elsewhere?
