Ashford - London +HS

[Southern]

Going into London tomorrow morning and decided to pick up my ticket, a £13.65 Super Off - Peak Day Return, in advance. I'm sure these tickets used to have destination "London Charing Cross" on them but I've been issued with "London Terminals." I know HS1 is shut until late afternoon tomorrow so was wondering if my ticket, together with the appropriate supplement, would be valid for travel from St Pancras in the evening? Oh, and if so, how much is the supplement? I have a 16 - 25 Railcard.

Thanks!

Tickets wouldn't normally be issued to Charing Cross, but to London Terminals, so you could leave at London Bridge for example.

The high speed supplement is £3.35 with a Young Persons railcard (from St. Pancras to Ashford) and £3.30 with a Young Persons railcard (from Ashford to St. Pancras).

Is that new then? Found tickets from back in February from "FOLKESTONE STNS" and they say "LONDON CHARING X." Just had a look on the Southeastern Journey Planner, which is indeed showing "LONDON TERMINALS" but for some reason when typing in London Bridge/Cannon Street refuses to sell anything cheaper than a One Day Off Peak Travelcard valid via: NOT VALID ON HS1 at £22.25 with YP.

There are, or at least were, some super off-peak tickets from the further reaches of Kent which are sold to named stations.

Yep,

As an example, from Margate, the Super Off Peak Return, which is £21.20 (£14 with a Network Card) was to "LONDON VICTORIA" the penultimate time I used one; last time I used one, earlier this year, Victoria was closed due to engineering works, ans the train was routed to Cannon Street. In that case it was to "LONDON TERMINALS".

Other that this ticket though, everything is always to "LONDON TERMINALS" rather than a named station.
