No. It is a walk-on fare that allows you to travel by any train on the 
Sat outward and return within a month (certain trains on Mon-Fri are 
barred, e.g. up to & inc. 1000 dep from Padd). I get a price of £48.80 
to London Paddington for this but the ticket could be purchased on the 
day for the same price. It is called 'off-peak' but is probably a 
'Saver' ticket. The actual type of ticket is now kept confidential and 
simply called 'off peak' whatever it actually is so the travelling 
public think it has been simplified!
