I'm looking for some clarification on the railway 'day' and it's new(ish) end time of 0429 and how that's interpreted for Off Peak ticket validity.
I note that the latest Avantix Traveller still uses 0230 and mentions the rule about 'still travelling' when using Off Peak tickets.
National Rail Enquiries says that Off Peak tickets are valid until 0429. Now is that valid to start your journey, or must all travel be completed by 0429?
Booking engines, it would appear, will only sell Off Peak Tickets for services starting before 0230.
If I turn up at Reading for the 0354 to Slough (arrival 0415) should I not be sold the Off Peak Day Single?

Off-Peak Single and Off-Peak Day (Single and Return) tickets must be used on the date shown on the ticket and up to 04:29 the following morning.
