Well it's like this... I've got to make a journey within the next 30 mins... I know if I leave now, I won't get there till after midnight. So my question is this...

As my journey starts at point A on the 23/07/10 but doesn't arrive at point B till 24/07/10 at 1AM... Can I buy a Day Return and use the return portion on the 24th, despite starting the journey and buying the ticket on the 23rd...??! bearing in mind my journey won't be complete till the 24th anyway...! Cheesy

Thanks... Grin

90% sure you need the period return. It would be legit to set out tonight and complete the first leg of your journey tomorrow with a day return, but you couldn't use the return portion.
