The price for a weekly rail-only season ticket from Hampton Court to
Waterloo listed at http://tinyurl.com/2flhgs is £29.30. My girlfriend
asked at Waterloo today and was told it was £33.80, just as the
nationalrail.co.uk season ticket calculator says.

Is there a way to get the £29.30 ticket or is that inaccurate information?

Looking on www.swt-seasontickets.com (an SWT badged version of the
Trainline season ticket booking engine) gives an Annual price for
Hampton Court to Vauxhall of £1172. Dividing this by 40 to get the 7 Day
rate gives the magic £29.30 figure.

In short, whoever prepared that page hasn't checked their figures before
posting.

Cheers,

Could it be a cockup somewhere due to their being separate seasons for
Hampton (London), Hampton Wick and Hampton Court?

This figure is now showing as an option on the NRE site alongside the
£33.80. It wasn't last night.

That is really strange. On the other hand, I'm still not seeing it. This
is what I get:

Between: Hampton Court (HMC)
And: London Waterloo (WAT)
Route Code: Travel is allowed by any route option shown by the Online
Journey Planner

Please note: You will need a passport sized photograph for a Photocard
when you purchase a season ticket.

Ah. If you put in "London Waterloo" you only get two options, but if
you leave it as "London" you get a third:

A-ha. If I try a Hampton Court to London monthly on
swt-seasontickets.com, I get my choice of:

Hampton Court-Vauxhall This ticket allows travel on any permitted
route. view £112.60
Hampton Court-London Terminals This ticket allows travel on any
permitted route. view £129.80
Hampton Court-London St Pancrs This ticket is only valid for routes not
involving tube travel. view £129.80
Hampton Court-London Terminals This ticket is only valid for routes
passing through Esher. view £161.30
Hampton Court-Zone R1256 Zones This ticket allows travel on any
permitted route. view £171.30

I suppose the St. Pancras ticket is via Wimbledon and Thameslink, which
I hadn't thought of.

The question remains whether it is possible to get all the way to
Waterloo for GBP 29.30/112.60 as advertised in at least two locations
now, we see. Any ideas?

I'm baffled - which Hampton Court - London Terminals routes
would pass through Esher? Some mad commute to Paddington
via Basingstoke and Reading?

Thanks

It is actually a dual-availability season ticket that is valid to both
Hampton Court and Esher. The description is not very helpful though.

I think that's a dual route availability ticket. It means you have the
option of catching an Esher-London train instead of a train from
Hampton Court.
