Default Split Ticketing to Brighton

Southern give the full third off with no minimum on some of their fares,
which is why I currently travel to London and back (from Brighton) for
£7.85
two or three times/week - that's the current Network Card discounted
super
off-peak return fare, routed Not Gatwick Express, with a 15% discount for
buying via the web site.

If you don't believe it why don't you go and look for yourself? - after
all
where do you think I got the price I quoted from?

I can confirm that I've seen that happen (Southern website ignoring
the £13 NSE minimum). That was on a order with a mixture of railcards
- I'd just assumed that the system couldn't cope with the different
restrictions.


It does seem odd - particular now that I've noticed that SN's '25% discount
T&C' doesn't list the Network Card as being eligible:

But the website does appear to allow me a Fareham to Victoria super offpeak
return for £6.95 with NC discount. Bargain...
