How do you use off-peak tickets?

Off-Peak and Super Off-Peak tickets do not require you to travel on a specific train, only at certain times. So, if your outward travel date remains the same you might not need to pay an additional fare. Off-Peak Day tickets and the outward part of Off-Peak tickets are only valid on the date shown on the ticket.
