Super Off Peak Rail Tickets
Is there a clear/easy way to find out which services are valid for the return journey on a super off peak ticket? The trainline website says it varies depending on route/operator, and putting in journey details doesn't really make it obvious to me. I'm going from Manchester or Stockport to Norwich on a weekday. Thanks :-)
