    This is also not always true. Some of the Advance tickets on the Games booking website are not branded as Games tickets. I've asked the question on Railforums, and even the experts there aren't clear if those tickets are subject to the limited flexibility promised for Games tickets. The terms and conditions that come up indicate not, but some people think the terms are wrong.

    Even if these "Games" Advance tickets do offer the limited flexibiilty of being able to travel on a later train IF your event overruns, they are, in many cases more expensive than half the SVR (Off-peak return) on the same route, so still a poor buy.

    As I said before, check both sites to see which is best for your route.

    That's interesting. The Games tickets I booked all came as unrestricted singles for the date specified. For me a peak return to London would be over £35 but the Games tickets worked out as £16 return which is a great price.
