I'm trying to work out what the restrictions are on a Shipley-Hinckley off peak return via Sheffield:
BRFares says the restriction code is BT http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=SHY&dest=HNK&rte=79&tkt=SVR which is Monday-Friday "Not valid by any train timed to depart before 04:30."
NRES and LNER say that if I leave at 0745 and change at Leeds, Chesterfield and Leicester (arr 1037), the off peak return isn't valid. But if I leave at 0745 and change at Birmingham and Leicester (arr 1130), the off peak return IS valid.
If I select the off-peak return on NRES, it takes me through http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/servi...fares/SHY/HNK/230819/0430/dep/280819/1830/dep to the BT restriction page which also says that it's only not valid before 0430.
So it looks like the booking engines are implementing the restriction wrongly.
