Default Combination Tickets to beat SWT 'before 1100' fare increase ?

Before this week's increase a CDR&ODTC (M-F after 0930 One Day Travel
Card) from Walton-on-Thames (3 stops outside the zones) to London cost
10.40 GBP.

Any problems with this ?

The "Super Off-Peak" tickets fall under one of two restriction codes.

Code BD is: Outward travel by any train except those timed to depart
Mondays-Fridays before 1100.

Code BE is: Outward travel by any train except those scheduled to arrive
at London Terminals or Kensington Olympia Mondays-Fridays before 1200
and connecting trains.

Looking on QJump suggests that Walton-on-Thames to London falls under
the latter restriction, as the first train it's showing as valid for
Super Off-Peak tickets is the 11:41, arriving 12:06.

Walton-on-Thames to Surbiton, however, appears to be the former
restriction, with the first available train the 11:11, arriving 11:17.

Cheers,

Barry
