Default Split Ticketing to Brighton

I have to go to Brighton for the day in the middle of next week during
off-peak hours, and I wanted to know if anybody knew of any
split-ticketing from London Victoria.

I looked on the website http://splityourticket.co.uk, but it said that
there were no available options on that route, which I found slightly
surprising.


Split ticketing generally only works for long-distance flows where there
is no Day Return available. I wouldn't expect to find anything on journeys
within the NSE area such as this.

Southern are currently offering 25% off on their website so a CDR would be
16.30 instead of 21.70. That is probably as cheap as you will get.

The cheapest way is a Daysave ticket for 10.00, unfortunately you need to
book 7 days in advance so it is too late for this trip.

If you have a Network Railcard there is an off-peak day return available for
around £11.00, failing that you might be able to get single AP tix for
booked trains from £3.75 each way, but these can be very restrictive.
