My partner sometimes travels brighton-soa at weekends. Normally this is 'via barnham', but when there is engineering works along the route the bus replacement adds significant time and hassle, so she tends to get the 'not via london' ticket. More expensive but permits changing at clapham. Am I...

Can anyone tell me if Brighton - SOA (off peak return, via Barnham) is valid via Portsmouth for a break of journey (=shopping)?

Apologies. My error. Good spot. 3 of us usually do the trip but this time there were 4

Oh I thought regular tickets could be loaded on it? I checked the site, and was able to select 'smartcard sale' under 'vouchers' when purchasing (so obvious!) This then took me to a screen which offered 'eticket' or 'collect' (no smartcard?). The link to eticket returns a 404 I'd love an...

Ah thanks! I see CFR is indeed now included which is progress. I'll aim to try and use the card for future journeys Now if only there was an iOS app that worked as a smartcard... ie apple nfc

Thanks for the info. Knows no bounds indeed! Very surprised there isn't any kind of endordement code on the ticket or 'valid SWR only' ? I'm sure I've seen some tickets with that on. Ah I can see https://www.southwesternrailway.com/train-tickets/cheap-train-tickets/groupsave-and-group-travel...

At the weekend I went to buy a ticket for CFR-brockenhurst (cheap day return). Though 2 of the 3 of us had railcards, it was pointed out a groupsave was cheaper as 3 of us get discounts. Super. Change is at SOA However I was also told the ticket (sold by SWR) wasn't valid on XC. As it happens...

My local station (chandler's ford) has had a yellow card reader for years. However the station is not shown by SWR as being valid for smartcards. I asked in the ticket office last weekend and was told they thought the machines were going to be activated in the next few days. Does anyone know...

My conclusion was that the best ticket choice was Brighton-Southampton airport, as there's a '00700 not via London' route option which appears to allow both routings (also shown by nat rail end) even though brighton- cfr/esl/win/sou only have the all routes at ££++ (or a specific clapham/barnham...

I've been looking at rail journeys between Brighton and the Eastleigh area. For the next 2 weekends at least there seems to be some rail replacement especially in the area between Littlehampton and Brighton. The national rail site mostly suggests more expensive tickets going brighton/clapham...

As above id visit wetherspoons. About a 30s walk from the station and open breakfast until late. There's also a wonderful new craft ale bar... Steam town brew company over the road bridge which has various paraphernalia from the railway including train seats and old locomotive works lighting...

I see the tapatalk support might come late but I wanted to add my support for it too. I mostly browse the forums from mobile and pretty much use tapatalk as much as I can as I find it significantly easier

Any news on digital railcard? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmmm delayed I guess... Will be making a trip in 2 weeks. Was rather hoping available by then Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Am I right in thinking the digital only railcars is going to be priced at less than the current paper price? My railcard ran out a few days ago but I'm doing a cheap journey tomorrow where I'd only save less than 4 ukp so thinking if so I'll wait Ah.. just find the full brief. Priced the...

Will this include the network railcard or does this remain a loner? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

(Long post lost due to timeout. Grrr) On the way towards the beach we encountered a lot of smoke - a bush fire was being got under control, but an amazing amount of smoke, sirens. We then enjoyed the day but by 6pm were thinking of deciding which train to get home. At that point we read...

I was caught up in this on Saturday, having decided to head for a half day by the seaside. It was certainly a little interesting journey! It started when I arrived at CFR to get the train to SOA. Initially the train showed as ontime-> 2/3 minutes late, but as departure time from romsey (1307)...

Ditto... Apple pay on my watch is perfect for small purchases and always have phone with me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
