Super off peak travel card not being offered despite apparent validity

[Albion91]

Tomorrow, I wish to go from Leighton Buzzard to West Brompton at around 11am (and return later)

As far as I can tell, my best bet would be to get a Milton Keynes Super off peak day travel card (as I believe you can start/stop short in travel cards?)

But when I put MK to West Brompton into the NRE engine, it offers me the off peak travel card but not the super off peak.

But the super off peaks time restrictions are listed as only applying mon-fri, so shouldn't I be able to use it on Saturday at any time?

I've managed to get the London Northwestern site (Trainline) to offer the Super Off-Peak Day Travelcard by doing a search for just Milton Keynes to Euston and clicking on the "Our trains" toggle. Not a clue why it's not showing on other booking sites though.

Works fine on the forum's site, for what it's worth, if you search to Travelcard Zones 1-6

I think it's because journey planners want you to use Southern from Watford Junction to West Brompton, but as WFJ is outside Zone 6, the TOC restriction of LNWR only applies there.

If you exclude Avanti, and put "via London Euston", you get the travelcard as an option: https://tickets.railforums.co.uk/re...ass=false&flexible=false&selectionMethod=Grid

You can just select "Cheapest" on the forum's site and the same magic happens.
