High Wycombe to Cooden Beach Off Peak Day Return route validity

[General Zod]

There only seems to be one CDR fare listed for this route so am I correct in assuming that the ticket can be used on HS1 from St Pancras ( changing at Ashford International) in addition to Southern services out of London Victoria ? I intend to start the return leg short at Hastings and travel via Ashfrod International into STP. I trust this is permissable ?

Yes, the fare is routed "Any Permitted" and thus allows you to use all permitted routes to Cooden Beach. These include HS1 from St Pancras and Southern from Victoria, amongst many others (e.g. Southeastern from Charing Cross/Cannon Street via Tonbridge).

There are no break of journey restrictions so starting 'late' at Hastings would be fine. It wouldn't necessarily work the barriers though, so you might have to speak to station staff to be let through them.

A quick check in Fuji JP suggests 'green ticks' all round for High Wycombe to Cooden Beach via HS1.

It's the barrier issue that I was worried about and the gateline staff not knowing that I could start short at Hastings and use the Southern + HS1 route. The less knowledgeable may say that I need to buy a Hastings - Cooden Beach single and travel the route into Voctoria.
