Evesham to Didcot Parkway off-peak return has a list of times after which you can depart from each station along the route:
The off-peak day return for the same journey simply states:
Alternatively, Swindon to Bromsgrove off-peak day return is valid after 0744 (!); could I use this to travel on the 0824 from Worcester Foregate Street to Bromsgrove*, when clearly there's no way I could get from Swindon to Worcester in time for the 0824?
Thanks
*Thought obviously, if I were to do this journey, I'd buy a Worcester to Bromsgrove ticket as it's much cheaper! I've used this merely as an illustrative example.
This is good because it clearly states that, for example, if I wanted to start my journey at Hanborough instead of Evesham I can't take any train before 0905, 20 minutes later than if I was departing from Evesham.
- Not valid on trains timed to depart after 04:29 and before the times shown from the following stations:
- 06:59 from Hereford
- 07:05 from Ledbury
- 08:00 from Colwall
- 07:30 from Great Malvern
- 07:35 Malvern Link
- 08:10* from Worcester Foregate Street
- 08:15* from Worcester Shrub Hill
- 08:30* from Worcestershire Parkway
- 08:30* from Pershore
- 08:45* from Evesham
- 08:50* from Honeybourne
- 08:45* from Moreton-in-Marsh
- 08:45* from Kingham
- 08:45* from Shipton
- 08:45* from Ascott-under-Wychwood
- 09:00* from Charlbury
- 09:00* from Finstock
- 09:00* from Combe (Oxfordshire)
- 09:05* from Hanborough
The off-peak day return for the same journey simply states:
So does this mean that I could take any train from Hanborough after 0830, even though I wouldn't necessarily be permitted to catch that train if I boarded at Evesham? For example, the 0643 Hereford to Paddington calls at Evesham at 0752, and Hanborough at 0835: I could board this at Hanborough with an Evesham to Didcot off-peak day return, but not at Evesham?Not valid on trains timed to depart after 04:29 and before 08:30.
Alternatively, Swindon to Bromsgrove off-peak day return is valid after 0744 (!); could I use this to travel on the 0824 from Worcester Foregate Street to Bromsgrove*, when clearly there's no way I could get from Swindon to Worcester in time for the 0824?
