Farnborough - Ealing Broadway - Reigate - Farnborough

[Bill Badger]

Hoping someone can advise me the best tickets to get for the above journey, as I'm sure there will be something better than a series of singles, but having played with National Rail Enquiries for a while I can't find anything obvious.

The journey from Farnborough to Ealing Broadway will be in the morning peak and the other journeys later in the same day. I have a Network Railcard but no other discounts.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

I suggest:

£15.80 Standard ANYTIME DAY RETURN (SDR) FARNBOROUGH STNS - REDHILL Route VIA GOMSHALL

with an excess of the outward leg only to:
£42.70 Standard ANYTIME DAY RETURN (SDR) FARNBOROUGH STNS - REDHILL Route ✠ ANY PERMITTED.

The excess fare for one leg of the journey only costs half the difference, that's £13.45, making a total cost of £29.25.

This allows:
Outward leg Farnborough North - Reading - Ealing Broadway - Paddington - tube - Victoria - Redhill.
Return leg Redhill - Reigate - Gomshall - Farnborough North.

There is a slightly cheaper version avoiding central London and travelling between Ealing Broadway and Clapham Jn by tube and London Overground, but I suspect the longer journey time will rule out this option.

Outward leg Farnborough North - Reading - Ealing Broadway - Paddington - tube - Victoria - Redhill.

This ticket is also valid for using London Underground from Ealing Broadway to London Victoria. It seems to be around half an hour whichever line you use, so Bill can take whatever turns up when he gets back to the station.

Either way is valid; if a train to PAD is due then changing at PAD for the Bakerloo Line to Oxford Circus then cross-platform interchange to the Victoria Line will probably be fastest for someone who is mobile and quick at making connections.

Thanks all for the suggestions - never knew I could use such a ticket on the Underground all the way between Ealing Broadway and Victoria, so good to have that option.
