Another Journey - Info sought for Sat 23rd Apr

« on: April 20, 2011, 10:52:38 »

Off to (hopefully) sunny Horsham on Saturday, having checked routes and costs there are a number of options but the key is knowing where to get 'split tickets' plus should I look at the Southern 25% deal for online sales.

Travelling from Worle at around 09:45, need to be in Horsham no later than 14:30 travelling back around 17:30 (not bothered re journey times, cost is driver this weekend).

Any help/advice much appreciated

On walk-up tickets, a super off-peak return (valid anytime on Saturday) is ^66.00.

My first thought would be splitting at Southampton Central, if you are happy travelling that route.
Worle - Southampton Central ^31.00 Off-Peak Return
Southampton Central - Horsham ^15.00 Off-Peak Day Return, route Havant (^13.35 on Southern's website)

If you are travelling solely with Southern between Southampton and Horsham, a Southern DaySave would be cheaper at ^12 each or ^24 for a group, however these must be booked a week in advance.

Advance tickets would also be available when splitting at Southampton, but you would need to be careful with late running/missed connections when doing this.

How many people are travelling, as group discounts are available?

Split at Fratton.

Worle -> Fratton @ 0949 or 1018 = ^19
Fratton -> Horsham & return - buy Southern Day return online for discount
Fratton -> Worle @ 1931 = ^10
(dep Horsham @ 1805, change @ Barnham 1839/1842 arr Fratton @ 1913)

There's a big engineering block on at Southampton this weekend to switch over to the new interlocking, with SN running a retimed Victoria service to/from Fareham and via Portsmouth and Southsea.

So FGW^▸ should run through to Fratton OK via Eastleigh and Fareham, but your best options for changing between tickets may be slightly different to normal, eg Fareham. Also beware of buying a SN only ticket from Southampton which AIUI^▸ would theoretically require you to go into and out of Southampton by bus.
