May I check please that I have interpreted it correctly that this ticket has no outbound time restriction? Also that the super-off peak version can be used from 8.30am leaving London Terminals (restriction code PU).
That looks correct to me - if you want absolute certainty, entering a journey into a journey planner (say the forum's ticket website, marylebone to coventry with via High Wycombe specified in the advance options) should bring up that fare.May I check please that I have interpreted it correctly that this ticket has no outbound time restriction?

That's correct. In fact, the restriction code explicitly says:May I check please that I have interpreted it correctly that this ticket has no outbound time restriction? Also that the super-off peak version can be used from 8.30am leaving London Terminals (restriction code PU).
Outward Travel
No restriction from London Marylebone.
I just had a quick search on trainsplit and it offered me the ticket.I can't find anywhere that will sell this ticket (or the Plumstead to Coventry via High Wycombe one), even Chiltern or Train Split. Maybe I'll have to try a ticket office or the machine on the day
Of course you would always have the option of nominally selecting a later train just to buy the ticket and then paying using Oyster or contactless for the journey from Plumstead to Marylebone.Chiltern's cross-London Super Off-Peak tickets have an additional "Not valid on trains timed to arrive at London Terminals, Farringdon or Kensington Olympia after 04:29 and before 10:00" restriction, hence why you won't get one from Plumstead early in the morning.
Thanks I'll have to try again. Not sure why nothing was coming up for me.Of course you would always have the option of nominally selecting a later train just to buy the ticket and then paying using Oyster or contactless for the journey from Plumstead to Marylebone.
I'm sure our more experienced members can also come up with their own ideas of other alternatives...
I guess what is happening is that since the tickets have a "not to arrive before 10am into London Marylebone" restriction, and your tube is getting to Marylebone before 10am, this is causing the ticketing website to incorrectly not show the fare, even though it is valid for this journey (restrictions are here https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=PLU&dest=COV&rte=305&ldn=1&tkt=SVR).Thanks I'll have to try again.

Whatever I do, the £72.20 Plumstead to Coventry off peak via High Wycombe won't come up - only the £70.20 any permitted off peak which is time restricted or the £138.90 anytime. Looks like I'll have to ask my company if they'd rather save money or be sure I won't be slightly late.
