I fully agree! I would love to go to Brighton on this deal (from Portsmouth) but the only way is to go from Portsmouth to London Victoria and then from Victoria to Brighton!! - the day would be over by then!!! - Come on Southern, spread the love a little more!!:beer:

I booked yesterday wanting to go from Swanwick (near Portsmouth) to London and have somehow managed to get a journey that involves changing in Brighton. So I'm going from Swanwick to Brighton then Brighton to Victoria.

Phew! Long hard slog but finally after trying all morning I've got two return trips to London for a combined £3.

I would love to go to Eastbourne but can only find cheap tickets for the return journey - am I missing something or have they just not got any?
Be grateful if anyone has any ideas.

If it is London to Eastbourne you are looking for? If so you can go on Sat 30 July 2011 for a total of £1.35 return per person. I copied and pasted details below from website.

You are welcome, checked a few more random dates in August and they are a similar price of 45 to 90p each way e.g. Fri 5 Aug 90p return, Sat 6 Aug £1.35 return.

Southern SUCK MY HAIRY ONES !!

Every weekend I endure frustrating service alterations to get to East Grinstead from Purley and back. Yet not one discount for that journey on their 90% off Birthday weekend. FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU

Just want to share an interesting finding, tickets from South Croydon are cheap rates, if u want to book on other trips.

thank you Loran Aniseed. great find as it is much easier to go to South Croydon than Victoria for me... and I dont' want to try and get on and off before with kids on tow. wl hve another try then.

spoken with Southern CS who confirm that the tickets are only valid if you travel to and from the exact locations printed on them, being subject to a penalty fare if I get on or off the train anywhere in between the stations... Ok if you live near the main line terminals ie.

- London to Gatwick Airport (but not on Gatwick Express)
- London to Eastbourne and Hastings
- London to Brighton
- London to Hove, Worthing and Littlehampton
- London to Horsham, Chichester, Portsmouth and Southampton
but poor if you live in between the main stops !...

Poor show Southern as you could spread this deal to your local customers !!!:mad:

i have booked the 90% off tickets for hampden park to london. and got the return as well. and seaford to hampden park.

its not just mainline stations

I booked yesterday for East Grinstead to Portsmouth return and asked for the tickets to be posted, they arrived this morning at no extra charge. Fantastic!
