certainly but London Terminals day returns from Ely at Cambridge. Many
do so to bypass the evening peak restrictions.


I'm sure I've heard this before, but if it was ever true, it doesn't
appear to be now.

Checking NFM07, the restriction codes for Off-Peak Day Returns from
Cambridge and Ely are the same (both J8).

The Off Peak Return (not Day Return) from Ely does lack evening
restrictions, but at 31.90 it's only 60p cheaper than a Anytime Day
Return from Cambridge.


That doesn't appear to mesh with the info on the FCC website he

Ely is in 'zone E' and is therefore no evening restrictions apply, or
so it says.
