However, you will have a fixed departure time for the return trip so a
ticket tied to a specific train would be much more practical and
wouldn't cost more than £10, maybe only £5.

Maybe. I'm finding that it's more and more difficult to buy Advance
tickets [in general, not for Southern] for some times of day, for the
cheapest prices, and if not months in advance.

You didn't look it up on the Southern Web site, did you? If you had done
so you wouldn't have written that irrelevant rubbish. There are an awful
lot of Southern trains from Gatwick to Victoria to choose between.

Which Southern Web site are you looking at?

As I said, www.southernrailway.com.

I just tried Monday 25th Feb 9am, and there are no trains with
promotional tickets before the 08:56 stopper (£12.80) and then none
of the £5-£10 Advance all day.

Same 25th March (no availability).

22nd April: £7.50 on the 09:53 is the first of the day, a few at £10
later, and not until 11:38 is there one at £5.

I tried 18th February after 10:00.
