Ticket not available on Southern web site

[FiloFax]

I wish to travel on an off peak return from Blackhorse Road to Fishbourne via London Victoria on Saturday 10/10/26. This is for two adults with a Two Together travel card.
I used the RailUK Forums search engine and this offered me off peak returns.
I then did the same search on the Southern web site and this said no results were found.
Can someone confirm whether this ticket is valid ?

A ticket sold, or tickets, by an accredited retailer will be valid for travel by the itinerary issued as part of the process.

Should anybody query it, you can show them condition 13.1.2 in the NRCoT which your ticket is issued subject to

National Rail Conditions of Travel | National Rail

The gateway to Britain's National Rail network. A portal into UK rail travel including train company information and promotions; train times; fares enquiries; ticket purchase and train running information

www.nationalrail.co.uk

If anyone tries to claim you can’t use multiple tickets for whatever reason, see condition 14.2.

Do you have a link?

Also, can you detail your intended itinerary?

Indeed; @FiloFax you can simply book using the forum's site and be confident that GTR are fully required to accept the ticket(s) on the itinerary you travel with.

It's not uncommon that TOC websites refuse to offer itineraries, or offer much more expensive fares, or don't come up with cheaper routes, etc; this is because the underlying journey planners they use are often inferior to those used by Trainsplit, which is behind the forum's ticketing site. On other occasions, TOC journey planners don't find the journeys because they require a combination of tickets, which most (but not all) TOCs refuse to sell.

I tried post a response with screen grabs, but it's got stuck, I guess due to the size of the images.
