Break of journey at Bexhill

[a.t.rose]

So, tomorrow I would like to get an off-peak return ticket to Brighton from StLeonards Warrior Square Station. However, I will be meeting my friend at Bexhill Station. Would I be able to get the off-peak return, and on the outwards journey get off and wait on the platforms of Bexhill station for my friend, before getting on another train to go from Bexhill station to Brighton, and later stay on the full return journey from Brighton to Warrior Square station?

If your ticket is an Anytime return you will be fine to do that. If it is an Off Peak or Super Off Peak Return you *should* be fine as the vast majority of (I want to say all but something in the back of my mind is telling me there are a few exceptions) Returns allow break of journey on the outward journey.

None of the exceptions apply here so the OP will be fine doing what he proposed.

Also technically speaking waiting on the platform the next train without leaving the station is not break of journey anyway.

This is not a Break of journey. However, if you wish to exit the station and break your journey, you are permitted to do so.

What can I say - I envisaged that hijinks were going to ensue!

You can always rely on me.

I've broken journeys at Bexhill on many occasions without issue.
