Morning,

Looking for validation rather than advice, although any suggestions to improve (read: make cheaper) my journey would be appreciated.

Friday 25th October, I am attending a concert at the Hammersmith Apollo, and as such will be aiming to return on the last service out of Waterloo.
I remember from an earlier thread the suggestion of a Havant - Redhill return (£15 CDR) any permitted via Clapham Junction, stopping and starting short on both legs (I would of course be using SWT), then using Zone 1-2 Travelcard (I don't own an Oyster, and I don't believe my StagecoachSmart bus ITSO would work).

It has been brought to my attention that the Routeing Guide offered easements allowing doubling back between London Waterloo and Victoria and CLJ; are these valid for my journey, thereby allowing me to travel to and from Waterloo rather than CLJ?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Easement nos. 700013 and 700014

Your easiest way to check is to use NRES, as the Routeing Guide now states that any route allowed by it must be checked against NRES. For information though, my FasTis ticket machine shows direct to Waterloo and then out to Redhill via Clapham Junction is permitted.

Seems to be valid according to the text

700013
Tickets with the following route codes may be used to double back between Clapham Junction and London Victoria. (Any Permitted, London, London Not Underground, Not Valid on HS1, AP London Woking)
700014

NRES thinks otherwise, I'm not sure what database they are using there, it seems like they have their own set of rules that are not publicly available. They just make it up as they go along I guess.
