Thanks for the info. Do you know what would happen if I tried to use it to
enter a NR station before 9:30? Would it open the gate? And what happens
if it's an ungated station with an Oyster reader?

It should not open the gate. Before Freedom Passes were made 24 hours
they would not open a gate before 0900 / 0930. This is the same as
happens with off peak One Day Travelcards that similarly do not open
gates before 0930 M-F.

A validator should show a reject message but obviously it can't
physically stop you entering the platform. You would be at risk of
being caught for ticketless travel if you travel on a NR service
before your pass becomes valid.

I see that a few NR routes, traditionally those with
inter-availability with LU, offer free travel before 0930 M-F.

Thanks, yes it's confusing how bits of the Chiltern lines that parallel or
share LU lines have 24 availability, but others don't.
