4. In each case under the last two preceding paragraphs the period of availability, with the exception of single tickets available for one day only, shall begin on the day following the date shown on the ticket.

5. The journey may be commenced on the date shown on the ticket or at any time within the period of the availability of the ticket, and must be completed before the expiry of such period.

6. Break of Journey.—Except in cases where break of journey is necessitated by the train service, single or return tickets for distances of ten miles and under will not be available for break of journey.

7. Intermediate Stations.—In no case shall the fare between any two stations in a suburban area be greater than the lowest fare chargeable between any two other stations in such suburban area the journey between which latter stations wholly covers the journey between the two first-mentioned stations.

Example: Let A, B, C, and D be stations in that order on a continuous line of railway, with suburban fares issuable from A to B, C, and D.
The charge for a ticket (at Regulation 2 or other fare applicable) from B to D or C to D must in no case exceed the suburban fare from A to D.
