Just to come back to this. Confirmed a mistake & a fix to be done. Refund on its way. Result. Thanks all!

Perfect, thanks! Surprised how hard it is to find this information

Maybe I'm being a bit dim or missing something but... If I buy an off-peak day return from south of London to "London Thameslink", the ticket is marked as "Break of journey allowed". Does that mean that I can break my journey at e.g. London Bridge then continue onwards to Farringdon? NRE at...

Thank you all! I did wonder if I had missed something subtle (especially with all the various quirks of tickets on the Brighton mainline such as Thameslink-only tickets etc). I've dropped an email to Virgin support, although since it's only a couple of quids, I might chalk it up to a lesson...

I consider myself decently familiar with the various quirks around tickets on the Brighton mainline but was puzzled by a ticket combo I got today and wondered if anyone could explain. Bought via Virgin Trains. Journey requested was PRP - ZFD. Was offered to split-ticket it so decided to go...

£15.55 on a Sunday but got you now. So illogical but that'd work. Thanks!

Hi, So - when I go from Preston Park (Brighton) to Heathrow, I tend to buy a Thameslink single to Farrington plus a One Day Travelcard for the Elizabeth, which comes out to £18.85 (disabled railcard). However, I cannot for my life work out how to buy a return ticket that includes a 2nd one day...

Hullo, Not sure if this is better in this forum, or in the fares forum but... Why on earth are the new Southern Rail ticket machines so unreliable. I've not seen a full week go by without at least one of the machines at my local station being out of order. Asking on here as Southern are only...

Hello, Whilst figuring out season ticket options for the above, I was struck by an oddity. (Prices below are for anytime with a disabled railcard). So searching without any specific times in mind but at peak times, I get... Brighton - Gatwick = £13.45 return on any services Preston Park -...

Indeed - I'm aware of this, but as I said, this is for a few weeks. As long as permanent residency is still in London... In any event, this is an immaterial point given I've been doing further searches and it turns out that a regular (i.e. no railcards whatsoever) weekly season ticket between...

I might go to the ticket office - might be easier... (Was hoping for an automated way to do it online though :( ) Was busy pricing out an example journey for Thurs 2nd Jan, & wanted to check if there wasn't a better way to do this.... (All the below with disabled railcard) 1x SAC-ELS return...

Hullo, I have both a Freedom Pass & a Disabled Persons Railcard, and will be travelling thru' London on Thameslink daily in the new year during peak hour for a few weeks (St Albans (SAC) to Crawley (CRW)). This means a complicated set of tickets which is frankly a bit of a pain to buy on most...

Ah! :( So season tickets can be used in combo with regular tickets on non-stopping trains, but not 2 regular tickets together? Oh well! Thanks for the advice all - nice idea while it lasted!

Apologies to both, I see where I went wrong. I normally travel from St Albans from/to London terminals (usually Farrington but sometimes Kings Cross). Hope that clarifies!

Er? Not to doubt your word on this but citation needed please :) To the best of my knowledge, on the FCC/Thameslink route, trains do not need to stop at West Hampstead TL in order for a SAC-WHP + Freedom Pass combo to be valid. As a result, I would've thought trains would not need to stop at...
