Tickets are only valid on the dates permitted as printed on your ticket.
Tickets that have been purchased with an “any available route” option can be used with any train company that operates between the stations you wish to travel.
Any time tickets are the most flexible and can be used on any train on the chosen day of departure for the journey you have booked. An anytime ticket allows you to return on any train within the dates displayed on your ticket.
Advance tickets are the best value tickets available but can only be used for your chosen train on the specific date and time. They are non-refundable and if you miss your train, you will need to buy a new ticket to travel.
If you have purchased an Anytime, Off Peak or Super Off Peak ticket then you will need to travel within the times as per the terms and conditions. Please see question “What is the difference between Anytime, Off Peak and Super Off Peak” for further information.
