[Closed] Is it "off-peak" all day Saturday on the train?

Forgive any apparent stupidity in the question; I don't get to use the train much. 😕

Just booking a ticket for Bristol to Gloucester and back again for Saturday. Off-peak day-return is £9 and an "Anytime" day-return is £16.50.

Can't work out from the website what times are peak and off-peak - seems that the "lowest fare finder" shows £9 on a outward/return grid for all trains. So I'm guessing there is no peak or off-peak on a Saturday (at least not for Bristol to Gloucester). Correct?

I know everything's got smaller in the modern age but clearly train tickets in the 70s were ridiculous!
