Title: Split ticket options - Wokingham to Isle of Wight
Post by: bobm on May 12, 2011, 11:45:47
Against my better judgement I'm being persuaded to go to the Isle of Wight with two other adults for the day on the forthcoming Bank Holiday weekend - probably the Saturday. We can use Groupsave 3 but anyone have an easy way of checking whether split tickets would bring the price down further. Planning to go via Portsmouth on the catamaran and through to Ryde Esplanade.

I very much doubt split-ticketing works inside the old Nertwork South-East area.

I don't think there are any splits, but the hovercraft is cheaper.

(All off-peak day returns)

Wokingham - Ryde Esp - ^97.50 with GS3
Wokingham - Ryde Hoverport - ^88.05 with GS3*

* = This is a non-standard discount (i.e. the hovercraft fare is not subject to GS3) as the fare for one person is ^37.50

Its been a long time since I've seen this part of The Manual (so things may have changed), but the hoverport option used to include a free ride on the hoverbus between Portsmouth & SS and Southsea.

Have never considered the hovercraft before but that looks like a good bet. Thanks for the tip. Just got to convince one of the party to forget her weightwatcher's points total for the day and we'll have a fine old time.  ;D
