Hi all,
A few months back I did a Freedom Of North West rover. According to the National Rail and Northern websites, these are valid after 08:45. However, at Leeds when I tried to buy mine at about 08:55, the ticket office staff said they were valid after 09:30, and they wouldn't sell me one until after then (there was a sign next to the ticket window saying "Rover tickets are only valid after 09:30"). This didn't matter to me as my first train wasn't until 09:36, and indeed on other days when I started before 09:30 (but after 08:45) the ticket was accepted as valid by train crew. However, later this month I will be doing a South Pennines Day Ranger, starting at Manchester Piccadilly. Are these valid after 08:45, or after 09:30? Thanks in advance.
