Restriction Code 2V

[AntoniC]

I have an open return Birningham New Street to Hinckley.
Outward Leg is this Friday (28th September)
Return Leg this Saturday (29th September).
Am I correct in thinking that on the outward leg I can get any train after 9.30 am (I was thinking about 4Pm to 5pm) and on the return leg I can get any train after 9.30 (There is one at 9.37).

Thanks in advance for your help !.

Yes, and no.

Restriction doesn’t apply at all on Sat/Sun.

Yes any train after 0930 weekdays and ant time weekends.

You have an off peak return (SVR).

Under current fares regulation the train companies aren't allowed to restrict such a fare in the evening*, but of course the train companies want to change that.

(* The former savers are protected and can't have evening restrictions except for journeys in the London area)

Quick question,
I have a seat reservation on the 17.22 bham new street to hinckley cross country train.
Am I right in thinking its been issued as part of my booking but I can ignore it and get the 15.52 instead without a seat reservation ?
TIA

If you are using a flexible ticket (SVR) as posted above, yes you can take any train within the timewise and date-wise validity of your ticket (2 days for the outward portion, 1 calendar month for the return, not departing between 04:30-09:29). In terms of mainstream tickets, it's only Advances where you need to be on the booked train.
