Quick question:

Journey is Waterloo to Petersfield, tomorrow. Freedom pass is valid up to Surbiton. A super off-peak return from Surbiton (or Boundary Zone 6) to Petersfield is “Not valid on trains timed to depart after 04:29 and before 12:01“.

Would this combination be valid on a train timed to depart Waterloo at 11:54, call at Clapham Junction at 12:02, and pass through Surbiton presumably some time around 12:15 (can’t be bothered checking but it’ll certainly be after 12:01…)?

I’d guess this’d be the same as standard split tickets and so would be valid but given that the train doesn’t call at Surbiton just wanted to double check.

The applicable time would be the last departure within the zones - i.e. 1202 from Clapham Junction since your Freedom Pass relies on validity 'assistance' thereafter for that particular service.

As per screenshots from the forum TrainSplit site your Freedom Pass + BZ6-Petersfield combo should be valid.

Makes sense that it’d have to be based on a departure time from a station, so in this case a conveniently timed service. Thanks for clarifying!

The validity of such tickets for non-stop splits is somewhat ambiguous - I think it's arguable that it is based on the time the train is scheduled to pass the 'starting' station (Surbiton in this case) when used for a non-stop split. But either way, it's clearly valid on that train.
