Off peak tickets?

[Peregrine 4903]

I'm just trying to buy a ticket to travel from Liverpool Street to Beccles tommorow on the 18:00 train from Liverpool Street, and it is offering me the chance to purchase an off peak ticket, even though the 18:00 is a peak train as far as I'm aware. Can anyone clarify about this?

Evening peak restrictions are relaxed during school holidays on services out of Liverpool Street.

Evening peak restrictions on outward journeys from Liverpool Street, Stratford (London) and Tottenham Hale to Ipswich and beyond, also to Brandon and beyond via Cambridge, are lifted during school holiday and half-term periods

My lack of ticketing knowledge exposed once again. Thankyou so much for your response! I'll book them now then.

To be fair, it is quite an unusual relaxation.
