Hello!

I have bought a Saver return ticket from Clapham to Weymouth. The booking says 9.12 but can i actually travel on a later train that day?


I have just found this in T&C: Therefore I think I can. But do I have to do anything? Or can I just board a later train?

CHANGES TO TRAVEL PLANSChanges to travel are permitted free of charge only for the same day and on valid trains. If date of travel is to change, ticket to be refunded and new ticket purchased - a charge of GBP10.00 (admin fee) will be made for such transactions.

Thank you very much!!

    If it genuinely is a saver ticket (a lot of people use the term saver generically to mean any cheap ticket - even Martin in his artlicle unless he's changed it recently) then yes you can use any train on which it is valid - generally any off-peak train. The reservation is irrelevant.

    On the return journey it doesn't even have to be on the same day - the ticket is valid for a month.

    Just get on the train.

    Hello, yes it is a saver ticket valid for a month. Would board on a later train, any problem I'll come and get you ;)
