5J - 9.30 except Bdeford and Peterborough when it's 9.15

Perhaps this is a case of a missing/obsolete "Cambridge 9.15"?

Except that according to the FCC web site the restriction is the
long-standing "no arrival in London before 10:00". So the 08:54 is
OK too.

That's not what Avantix says 5J means (for the SVR/Offpeak return)

The rule you quote is the J8, for the CDR/*day* return.

And that appears to be what their web site think applies in the mornings
to Off Peak Returns. Sensible really, given that there are fewer
restrictions in the evenings.

I'm having difficulty parsing that. Are you saying the FCC website
thinks rule J8 applies to SVRs (as well as to CDRs)?

Another reason why they ought to print the [alleged] fare code on the
ticket - to debug situations like this.
