Beware nationalrail web site

I've just checked a return fare for 2 people from my local railway station to Gatwick airport. The South West trains website quotes the cheapest total fare as £54.10 using a Network Railcard.
The exact same enquiry on the Nationalrail website for the same journey on the same dates with the same railcard gave the cheapest total fare as £82.00. The ticket was for the same trains as quoted by South West.
Don't think I want to pay Nationalrail over 50% more for the same journey!

i find it always pays to use the website as a guideline, as when you go to the ticket office and buy the ticket, it always comes back less......smile --- it makes people wonder what you are up to....

It may be that SW has some special offers that are specific to it's website which don't show up on National Rail0
