ATOC don't like the Network Railcard and tried to get rid of it altogether.

No minimum fare on Senior railcard for example.

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.

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?

It isn't obvious from your earlier post that you were getting more than one
discount.

I believe you...

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 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.

Some Tourist Offices sell the Daysave on the day.

AIUI the only place that sells Southern DaySave tickets on the day is
the 1 Stop Travel shop in Brighton (run by Brighton & Hove buses) -
furthermore only the 1 Stop Travel shop on Old Steine, not the one at
Brighton station - more info:
http://www.buses.co.uk/trips/onestop.aspx

However this does remind me of something I'd thought of doing before -
from London a traveller could take advantage of a cheap Advance fare
to get from Victoria to Brighton, and could then walk down and buy a
DaySave ticket either for onward travel to elsewhere on Southern
trains along the south coast or just for their return journey back to
London later.

Incidentally a ticket that goes by the name of DaySave is sold at some
tourist offices, but it's the separate FCC Thameslink route DaySave -
more info at the bottom of this page:

(Worth noting that the 1 Stop Travel shop on Old Stein also sells
these on the day too.)

Eastbourne tourist office sell the DaySave tickets on the day. It would
seem likely that Southern would have other outlets.
