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.

What is AP?

Advance Purchase. Book ahead, get big discount for putting up with
restrictions that specify which train you must use it on. (It is not
valid on any other, unless the train service goes belly up).
