Southern DaySave trip report (29/06/2024)

[SparkieLover]

Hi fellow risers and bashers,

About this time last year (01/07/2023) I bashed a DaySave. I decided to do another today. I wanted to share a trip report this time.

My first train was the 13:24 Farringdon to East Croydon (9T33). Unit number 700115

Second train:

I then decided to take the 14:10 from East Croydon to Oxted (1L36) where I'll change for an Uckfield train.
They 2X377s

Third train

This was the 14:36 to Edenbridge Town (1E27). There I decided to explore the town a bit more. I like it, my gripe is that the public transport is appalling.

An exhausted me saw a 231 bus and impulsively got off at Penshurst. I just missed the train, so I went across the road to kill an hour.

17:09 (2A49) to Redhill

Nice bit of risk-taking with your DaySave there...

Fifth, and sixth trains.
18:07 (9J47) Redhill to Gatwick Airport
18:31 (1W14) Gatwick Airport to Brighton.

Without rebounding at East Croydon. I have to use two different GTR brands for the most direct route.

I have a Freedom Pass, so that journey's OK.

Seventh and eight trains:

I arrived on P7 and on P8 there was the 19:06 (2C56) Seaford local to Moulescoomb. This enabled me to cross over and catch the 19:23 (2C57) back to Brighton. Affording me the stunning views from the viaduct on the approach.
