You can use Off-Peak tickets on any journey during these times:

• Outside the rush hours on Monday-Thursday
• All day Friday if your journey starts or ends at London Euston only
• All day Saturday on all journeys

What are Super Off-Peak tickets?

Are Super Off-Peak tickets single or return?

Both. Want a return? You can travel back on any day within 30 days of your outward journey.

When can I use Super Off-Peak tickets?

Only on these journeys:

• Trains to or from London Euston, Monday- Sunday
• Trains to or from Milton Keynes Central, Monday-Sunday

Only at these times:

When can I travel with an Off-Peak return ticket?

You can book your Off-Peak tickets at any time, but you must travel during the middle of the day, in the evenings or at any time on weekends, avoiding the morning and late-afternoon rush hour. Our weekend Off-Peak hours start from Friday morning for Euston departures, meaning customers can travel on any train from as early as 05:05 to make the most of the weekend.

Off-Peak Friday offer excludes journeys from Milton Keynes to London Euston. Our journey planner will always show you Off-Peak tickets for valid journey times, so just enter your journey details to find your best ticket options.

Can I get a refund for Off-Peak tickets?

If you can no longer use your ticket, our Off-Peak are both fully refundable, minus a £5 administration fee. If you purchased your ticket from our website or app, you can apply for a refund through the My Account section of our website.  For more information on Refunds then please use the link below:

Can I break my journey?

Break of journey is allowed on the outward and return portions of Off-Peak tickets unless otherwise indicated by a restriction shown against the ticket's validity code.

You may start, break and resume, or end your journey at any intermediate station along the route of travel on Off-Peak tickets unless the ticket restriction for the journey you are making does not allow it.

Many of our Off-Peak restrictions involve the time you arrive or depart London Euston. As such, if you plan to break your journey further north, you may be able to travel at what's locally a Peak time, but is still valid for your ticket if you've left London or will arrive in London at an Off-Peak time.

For example, you could be travelling from Shrewsbury to London but would like to break your journey in Birmingham. An early morning journey solely from Shrewsbury to Birmingham might be Peak on its own but, if your ticket's restrictions only refer to arrival times in London, you can make one leg of your journey at 'Peak' time, break your journey in Birmingham, then arrive later in London as per your ticket restrictions.

If you intend to start, break and resume, or end your journey at any intermediate station, please call 03457 48 49 50 to check if it is available on your specific journey.

Fare for everyone

If you're travelling on one of our trains, you must have a ticket that's valid for travel on that service. To make it fair for everyone, there are different ticket types available and our team are onboard to help with any queries.
