Anytime Short Return (1st Class)

The following terms and conditions apply to this type of ticket. Please note that some tickets have restrictions on the days or times you can travel. Please check before you travel.

Terms and Conditions

Description

Anytime fares are fully flexible walk-up tickets with no restrictions on when you can travel.

The Anytime Short Return has exactly the same terms and conditions as the normal Anytime Return in that there are no time restrictions, EXCEPT that the outward portion of the ticket is valid for ONE day and not FIVE days. The return validity remains the standard calendar month.

This ticket type is initially being trialled on journeys between the Doncaster and Leeds areas and will be effective from 1st June 2015 until 31st December 2015.  It's addition to the existing ticket range aims to give customers increased choice by offering a period Anytime Return for use in the peak on short distance flows where traditionally only a Day ticket was available.  This then provides both period options for Peak and Off Peak Travel.

Ticket Issuing Systems will display the ticket type as FHR - ANYTIME SHRT 1R.

Tickets will print with ANYTIME SHRT 1R.
