Fare Types

DEFINITIONS:

Advance - Reservations are required for the journey and you must travel on the train shown on your ticket or reservation confirmation.

Off-Peak - These tickets may have restrictions on the times that you can travel. These depend on the specific journey that you are making, but generally apply during the early morning (before 10.30, Monday to Friday) and the early evening for travel from major cities including London (15.30 to 19.15). There are not normally any restrictions at the weekend or during Bank Holidays but you should always check your journey requirements using any of the available websites, as they will identify those tickets that are available at the specific times that you wish to travel.

Anytime - These tickets have no time restrictions on when you can travel.
