Re: City Rail off peak rail tickets

["Chris Downs" <cvdowns@ozemail.com.au>]

The 0816 Hazebrook - Central cops peak fares but the 0845 gets off-peak
fares.  I don't know when the change occurs.

When my weekly expires mid week I often buy a single the next morning and
buy my weekly (almost 7.5 days worth) after 1500 that afternoon to get
home - the cheapest option.
