My friend bought a super off peak return from Stonehouse to Oxford via Didcot (used on the 2025 on Tuesday) intending to return on Thursday. However circumstances dictate that he now has to make the return half of the journey on Friday. Is he likely to fall foul of any restricions please ?

From National Rail:

Quote
"Return portions of Off-Peak Return tickets are valid for travel until 04:29 on the day following the last day of validity (i.e. one calendar month from outward journey). All travel must be completed by this time"

This applies to Super Off-Peak also. so no problem. The restriction is on the outward journey only.

The super off peak return isn't valid for travel earlier than the 0835 train from Oxford tomorrow morning, arriving Stonehouse at 1012 with changes at Didcot Parkway and Swindon.
