Senior railcard discount - or not? - on Anytime travelcard

Cambridge are happy to sell tickets from Ely, seeing as it's NXEA and not FCC selling them. Interesting - thanks for that, that's one to remember. For those not clued up on these things (and I had to check!), FCC created the concept of "zones A to E" so as to apply their off-peak evening restrictions - Ely is in zone E whilst Cambridge is in zone D - and yes, return journeys to zone E are exempt from the restrictions, whilst zone D isn't. FCC's off-peak restrictions and 'zones' are all explained here, along with a link to a map of the zones: http://www.firstcapitalconnect.co.uk...iCmsPageId=134 Although the FCC website is clear that the restrictions do not apply to Ely, the fares data has not been updated correctly. In The Manual the CDR from Ely - London has the same restriction code as Cambridge - London. Therefore online booking engines will not show this ticket for travel during the evening peak.
