The timetable is at
http://www.firstcapitalconnect.co.uk...s/kingscrossto
stevenagecambridge_1.pdf and shows off-peak tickets as permitted on the
0920 from Cambridge. However as Barry posted, the restriction in the
Fares Manual for a Off-Peak Return is depart at or after 0930.


But there's apparently different rules for offpeak returns and offpeak
*day* returns. That needs more colours.


But you need even more colours, because different start and endpoints have
different restrictions. So, I think, there are no evening peak restrictions
on return halves of tickets from Ely to London. But there are from
Cambridge to London. But the Ely person might take a train to Cambridge and
change. And then what about the person with a ticket from Penzance to
Cambridge, where the restrictions are on the Paddington leg not the King's
Cross leg?
