London off peak starts fro 09.30 til 14.30 then 1901 onwards (apparently). I don't think anyone on this forum will willingly search for trains for you. You haven't given times, dates, etc. It is a case of inputting the data into National Rail Enquiries and looking up the prices.

You can read this article for more useful information.

I really didnt expect someone to do all the work for me, i was asking really
because some charge booking fees, postage costs etc.
Sorry if that was a bit ambiguouse
I have done the research on times etc. just not got to the final pay stage.
Thanks for your help on peak times.

Peak times and off peak times are very complicated.
I would tackle the issue from a slightly different starting point.

Using a website like that for East Coast Trains, pick some possibly suitable times and use the website features to find out if your choice is offpeak or peak.

With the site mentioned (there are other similar sites), it is very easy to trial particular times.

With regards to fees...
Avoid the trainline and raileasy.

thanks for that,
I have just booked my split tickets didcot to birmingham, birmingham to Leeds for just under £45 for the two of us with East coast trains, no booking fee, no postage costs, Brilliant.

I'll do as you suggest re the Paddington to Didcot, just didnt know whether to book the ticket in advance or just when we get there on the day. I tend to panic in railway stations.

For trains from Paddington to Didcot, the first train that an off peak ticket can be used on is that leaving at 09:26. And there a number of trains leaving Paddington between 4pm and 7pm which cannot be used with an off peak ticket.
