Journey via London - is tube included in the price?

jd82

I am traveling from Manchester to Brighton and going via London. The ticket cost me £16 (one way) and I have to catch a tube from Euston to Victoria.

I assume this is included in my main ticket which says "Manchester to Brighton) but dosn't the underground have barriers? Which ticket do I show? I also have two seperate tickets one for Manchester to London and the other London to Brighton.

last time I travelled it was included , just put it in the tube gate

should have a little + london on the bottom of your ticket

Manchester to Brighton for £16? Bargin or what??? If your ticket takes you via London, then it will include the tube. Did you not get a journey print out?

It sound more like its an advance ticket which won't have a + on it, more likely it will have 'VWC&connections' on it. If it does then just follow the journey itinerary you got when you booked the journey.

I'm a bit puzzled with this bit.

You say...
Main ticket says Manchester to Brighton.
You also have two other tickets, one Manc to London and one London to Brighton.

Is perhaps the 'main' ticket just a seat reservation?, and the other two are actually the travel tickets?
Or is it the other way round?... two reservations and one travel ticket.

If you have one travel ticket from Manchester to Brighton, then as mentioned above, there should be a + in the route box on the ticket.

If you actually have a travel ticket from Manc to London, and another from London to Brighton, then you will probably have to pay extra for the cross london tube bit.

Only if it's an Super/Off Peak/Anytime ticket will it have a + on it, if it's an Advance ticket and at £16 IMHO it is, it will have the TOC's route. ie; VWC&connections.

Would it not have +VWC&connections in the route box?

I don't think it does, just had a quick search and it shows; VWC&Connections on advance tickets Manchester Pic to Brighton via London. But I could be mistaken as it might print something else on the ticket.

Should still have the + on it though shouldnt it?
