What is peak and off-peak pricing?


What is peak and off-peak pricing? How it works: The price you pay changes based on the time of day, the day of the week, and the season: Peak (highest price) – 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday (except most holidays) Off-Peak (lowest price) – before 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and all hours on weekends and most holidays.


What are off-peak times?

Off-peak electricity hours typically happen around 10am to 5pm and 9pm to 6am, the times when people are out of the house or asleep. Saturdays and Sundays typically count as off-peak periods no matter the season, and some utility companies also include holidays occurring during the week in their off-peak rates.


Can I travel in peak time with off-peak ticket?

Off-Peak tickets give you some flexibility - if you can still use an Off-Peak ticket on the train you now want to travel on, you can just catch that one instead! If you want to travel during peak time, you'll just need to pay the difference between the Off-Peak fare and the Anytime fare.


What is the difference between off peak and anytime tickets?

Off-peak tickets are cheaper than anytime tickets – an off-peak return is usually only slightly more than an anytime single, but as the name implies, cannot be used during weekday peak periods.


Can I travel anytime with an off peak single?

Off-Peak Single tickets are valid for travel on the date shown on the ticket and until 04:29 the following morning.


What is a good example of pricing?

For example, let's say you sold shoes. The shoes cost $25 to make, and you want to make a $25 profit on each sale. You'd set a price of $50, which is a markup of 100%. Cost-plus pricing is typically used by retailers who sell physical products.
