what is an off peak train

Off-peak trains are a type of train service that offers flexible tickets at cheaper prices. They are available for traveling at less busy times on weekdays and all day at the weekend. Off-peak hours usually begin at 09:30 from Monday to Friday in cities and large towns, and at 09:00 everywhere else. If a train is scheduled to depart after this time, passengers can travel with an off-peak ticket. Weekends and bank holidays are off-peak all day. Off-peak tickets are semi-flexible tickets that let passengers travel by train during off-peak times on certain days of the week and on specific routes. The details of the trains that passengers can catch and the times that they can travel will depend on the journey they are making and will be made available when they buy their ticket. Off-peak tickets are cheaper than anytime tickets but may require passengers to travel at specified times or on specified days or routes.
