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

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.

The Eastbourne web site says 'agents such as...'

Thanks Derek, didn't realise the Southern DaySave was available
anywhere else apart from the 1 Stop Travel shop in Brighton - be
interesting to know what other places sell it too.

We did have quite a big discussion about Southern DaySave on
uk.railway around this time last year, when the availability of said
ticket at 1 Stop Travel came up but no-one offered any other outlets,
so I had wrongly assumed it couldn't be purchased over the counter on
the day anywhere else.

I'd never heard of this either (my office overlooks the Old Steine,
BTN so I quite often end up using on-the-day DaySaves ) - the wording
clearly implies there could be other outlets but i've never come
across any.


My thought is that there must be London outlets.

I really don't think there are any I'm afraid...

No minimum fare on Senior railcard for example.

But there is an earliest time, it appears.

There is a minimum fare of 16-25 railcards, but only before a certain
time, isn't there?

Ok, I'll try again.

Other railcards with a minimum fare, including 16-25 and Family, have
it set at £12 for most of the year (e.g. 16-25 has no restrictions in
July & August).

Is that better?

Not really.

The Family and Friends Railcard has time restrictions for some
journeys, but no minimum Adult fare. The minimum discounted Child fare
is £1.

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.

But then it can also complain about your journey being too long and
suggest that you try splitting it up by hand. Brilliant!

Not really.

is £1.

It's a whole different discount I know, but I think it worth
mentioning here that on Southern and Southeastern up to four kids
travel for a £1 off-peak when accompanied by an adult with a valid
ticket (inc. season ticket) - same applies on FCC expect it's £2.

off-peak return fare, routed Not Gatwick Express, with a 15% discount for
buying via the web site.

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.
