    Hi,
    I had problems getting this info on line before and ended up giving National Rail enquiries a call on 08457 484950 and they were able to find it. Otherwise ask at the ticket office of any station - they appear to be connected to the same ticketing system.

    It says no fares available on Avantix Traveller, possibly because this is such a long journey.

    A standard day return is already a massive £48.40 - route +Any Permitted, i.e. including transfer via underground between London Victoria and London St Pancras or direct via Kings Cross Thameslink.

    As a guide, a 7 day ticket is about 4 times the price of a standard day return, which is about £193.60.

    A one month season ticket is 3.84 times the price of a 7 day ticket, which is about £743.40.

    An annual season ticket is 40 times the price of a 7 day ticket, which is about £7744.00. This can be made by monthly direct debit at no extra charge.

    Can you get prices from Haywards Heath? From there it's direct on Thameslink so may be quicker/cheaper.
    Can I help?

    You could buy a season ticket from Lewes - East Croydon (£54.20 weekly/£208.20 monthly/£2168 yearly) & then a Luton - all zones travelcard (£86.50 weekly/£332.20 monthly/£3460 pa).

    If you can stick to trains from Lewes to Haywards Heath & change there onto the FCC direct services, then a annual ticket is £992 for the first train and then £3740 pa from Haywards Heath to Luton.
