My computer which housed the NFM has crashed so I was wondering if a kind soul could help me. What is the ticket code and hence the travel restrictions on a Birmingham New Street to Middlesbrough, via Darlington, Off Peak Return ? I need to stop off in Manchester on the return leg and break my journey for about 3-4 hours, but intend to travel onwards to Birmingham later on the same day. Will I be permitted to travel at "peak times" from Manchester Piccadilly to Birmingham ? Intend to leave Mancs about 1700-1800.

thanks !

If you want to leave before 0930, let us know what time and we will find a combination of tickets that will allow you to do that without Cross Country defrauding you of the "Anytime" scam fare of 133 quid.

Thanks Yorkie. I've got into the habit of always double checking my train travel and ticket types with you more learned folk. I always try to avoid travel before 0930 as my meagre finances could not stretch to accommodate fares such as the scandalous £133 anytime return .
