Weekend Restrictions Super Off Peak Trains

Options
Is it me or is this new?

South Western Railway have travel restrictions for Super Off Peak trains tickets into and out of Waterloo on the weekend.

I'm sure last year there were no restrictions on the weekend especially Sundays.

So for me its the 07:23 train on Saturday or Sunday or wait until 11:23 to use a Super Off Peak ticket.

Quote from their site.
Travel towards London Waterloo:

  • Yes this is correct and it was introduced in late Spring last year in order to better manage potential overcrowding on weekend trains.
