According to a new leaflet "Ticket Changes from 11th June 2006", from
that date "the return portion of Cheap Day return, One (sic) Day
Travelcard (off-peak), Family Travelcard and DaySave tickets are no
longer valid on services departing from [King's Cross and Moorgate]
between 1630 and 1901 Monday to Friday. In addition to this Network
AwayBreaks and Saver tickets are not valid on services which depart
from these services between 1730 and 1830 Monday to Friday."

These restrictions apply to passengers returning from a variety of
inner London stations to stations between Potters Bar to Waterbeach
inclusive. The leaflet explicitly states that passengers returning to
Ely and points north thereof are not affected.

So what's to stop Cambridge travellers buying an Ely-London cheap day
return and using that? Does the small print prevent this?

Exiting at Cambridge in the evening is a Break of Journey (are they
allowed on the return half of a CDR?)

It's never been clear whether or not joining at Cambridge in the morning
is also a BOJ or not.

But without gates [yet] or a ticket check at Cambridge, you'd get away
with it.
