  • i was always under the impression "break your journey" meant get off at a station on route then getting back on at a the same station at a later time to continue your journey.

    once you have your ticket... is it time specific, say i booked 8pm, would i not be allowed on at 6pm?

    Am I missing something, I can't get any prices, in fact I can't get any further than the first screen where you enter your journey details?

    just bumping this up cos it runs out tonight at midnight

    many thanks OP - just booked a day-out for 4 for £3.50 London to Brighton - bargain!
  • There seem to be very few tickets available on some routes. If you are having trouble it could be one of these problems:

    * To qualify for discount, it must be on Southern Trains services only. For example if you want to go to Southampton you have to specify "via chichester" to get a southern service because by default it only shows you the faster south west trains services.
    * The discount is only available on particular advance purchase tickets which seem to have a limited availability. The further in advance you book, the more likely you are to find a bargain!

    Disappointed I couldn't use it to get to Southampton this weekend on the cheap :confused: good luck to everyone else!

    Blimey, that is really difficult to use if you're not on the Southern Trains network/services routes by the look of it. I tried MK to Euston with no luck of course.
    It would be helpful if they listed all the destinations included in the offer.
