What are the limitations of a ScotRail Off-Peak Day Ticket?
I have bought an Off-peak Day Ticket from Edinburgh to Helensburgh and I was wondering if I can stop in Glasgow and then take another train from Glasgow to Helensburgh. Since it is a day ticket I don't see any limitation of number of travels but I don't know if I can only use that ticket only in the designated points.
Best Answer
Day off-peak tickets generally allow you to break your journey at any station:
You may start, break and resume, or end your journey at any intermediate station along the route of travel on Off-Peak tickets unless the ticket restriction for the journey you are making does not allow it. If you intend to start, break and resume, or end your journey at any intermediate station, please call 03457 48 49 50 to check if it is available on your specific journey.
However, to my understanding, you cannot continue your journey from Glasgow during the evening peak on an off-peak ticket.

I don't see any limitation of number of travels
Maybe it's necessary to clarify this - 'Day ticket' means the ticket is valid on a particular day. You may use it only once for each part of the journey. This is different from day passes or travelcards, which are valid for any number of journeys.
