Default Driving into London from Dorking

Wow! Four people traveling to and from London from Dorking, unlimited use
of the Tube, all for 23 pounds, that's incredible. I can only hope they
don't stop their GroupSave offer before August!


Thanks everyone for the valuable info...you've saved me quite a headache!


Indeed. It's a shame the TOCs don't publicise GroupSave better: it
frequently makes the difference between driving and getting the train
for an off-peak SE journey; and usually my friends - even the ones who
commute daily on public transport - are as surprised as the OP to hear
about its existence.

Maybe the TOCs have worked out that they raise more money by getting
group travellers to pay unnecessarily high fares than they would by
attracting new customers off the roads. Or maybe they're just inept.
