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.

So you have different timetables for different end stations.

But the Ely person might take a train to Cambridge and change.

Their allowable train will still be on the Ely timetable (if it shows
connections at Cambridge.

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?

Then they don't need to consult a London-Cambridge timetable to examine
their London-Cambridge restrictions, because there aren't any.
