Super Off Peak Return

[Train Pilchard]

I've got a Super Off Peak return, is this valid only on the train that I have a reservation for or can I use it on a later one that day?

It's a London to Glasgow 9.30am a week on Monday that I am using the return portion, just in case I feel like a lazy morning and getting a later one.

Super Off Peak Returns (SSR?) are valid on a restricted number of off-peak trains. That means that if you choose to travel on a different (super) off-peak service, then your ticket will be valid but your seat reservation won't. However, due to the nature of the services that SSRs are valid on, getting a seat shouldn't be a problem!

If you would like to know the exact times that the ticket is valid between could you please post what the start and finishing point of the ticket is and someone will look it up for you.

A Super Off Peak Return (SSR or OPR) ticket is in the Off Peak category of tickets.

Off-Peak and Super Off-Peak tickets may require you to travel at specific times of day, days of the week or on a specific route.
Website journey planners can tell you when your ticket can be used – simply enter your outward and return journey times to see the trains you can travel on.

Alternatively, rather than use the journey planners, if you can tell us your origin and destination, we can look it up for you if you like.

I did look up London Terminals [1072] <> Glasgow Cen/Qst [0433] but there is no Super Off Peak Return (SSR or OPR) for that flow.

 

[Train Pilchard]

The return portion is London Terminals - Glasgow Cen/Qst.

The ticket type is "OFF-PEAK R".

I have a reservation on the 09.30 from Euston and it cost £121.60 for the tickets.
