Sutton Coldfield -> Woking via Reading

[horizonflame]

Hi All

I have a friend doing Sutton Coldfield > Woking via Reading on Saturday and returning on Sunday.

He does not wish to travel via London or be tied to specific trains. No railcard.

Off-Peak Return £63.10

Sutton Coldfield - Banbury Off-Peak Return £18.70
Banbury - Woking Off Peak Return £39.50
£58.20

Can this be beaten further?

Thanks

Replace the second ticket with:-
Banbury - Weybridge Off Peak Return £37.00

Valid for travel via Reading and Basingstoke (stopping short at Woking)
NOT valid for travel via Reading - Guildford -Woking, according to NRE.

Total: £55.70

If your friend is going to make this journey more than once, a Network Card would pay for itself on the second trip.

Try Banbury - Clapham Junction, £32 off-peak return. Valid Banbury - Reading - Guildford - Woking, stopping short at Woking - Clapham Junction.
