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.

Ho would I be able to do that in this case, should I need to return to
Brighton?
