In the ticket queue at Lockerbie station the person in front asks for a ticket to Preston on the 07:40 dep, they are sold an Off-Peak Return which is actually valid at any time.
Then the second person in the queue asks for a return to Motherwell on the 07:43 dep and I suppose I'll need an Anytime "Day" Return £14.90, the ticket clerk refuses as the Anytime Day is not valid until 0930!!, they are then sold an Anytime Return for £23.00, £8.10 extra.
This is an example of how stupid Simplification is, there is actually an Anytime Day Return that IS NOT valid at ANYTIME, it is RESTRICTED with validity B1!! And from the same station and Off Peak Return that IS valid at ANYTIME.
