Similar problem I ran across asked by my daughter. She needs to come back
from Gatwick to Cambridge. As she flew out from Stansted she needs a single
ticket.

The problem is the flight arrival time is touch and go for catching the last
train with a connection that night to Cambridge. But the only GTW-CBG fare
is a day single as far as I can tell. So, can she get a ticket which allows
her complete her journey the next day, bearing in mind she may not know at
Gatwick which she will be doing?

The regular single has "no restrictions", which I think means that
section 16(ii) of the NCoC isn't over-riden, viz:

"stay in overnight accommodation when you cannot reasonably complete
your journey within one day"

Some tickets have a condition that you must resume the journey by midday
the second day, but not apparently this one.

I agree that as a "Day single" it could be argued that the validity
expires overnight anyway, but the National Rail site is silent about any
difference between "anytime", and "day" singles...
