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.

I'm curious to know what happens when the ticket inspector turns up? Is
he/she allowed to excess someone with a ticket for less than £13?

Nothing would happen. These tickets are sold from Southern's own site,
after all.
