Permitted Route SW Railways

[chomolomo]

I need to take a train from Waterloo to Lymington on Saturday, and back, with a break, at Liphook on Sunday. I understand that I am allowed to break my journey with an off-peak return. But I have to travel via a "permitted route", and SW Railways don't tell me what a permitted route is. Can anyone tell me if a return ticket is suitable for my needs, or if not, what tickets I should get?

Thanks

The forum's site will offer such an itinerary with splits turned off, so it's fine.

London Waterloo > Lymington Town - Search Results

If you know the trains you want to get, it can be a good idea to generate your chosen itinerary, as evidence of validity.

If it wasn't permitted, we would offer a combination of tickets.

Thanks v. much. I'll get an off-peak return as I would like more flexibility for the return journey.

Permitted routes on an "any permitted" ticket include Brighton, so you have a lot of flexibility!

PD gives you the route via Liphook.

(Destination on the maps being Brockenhurst, which is the routeing point for Lymington.)

The forums site only offers the cheapest, however if you go to www.transplit.com you can get the option to choose a more expensive fare.
