A quick query.
Tomorrow I've got to do the above journey for work, and its likely to be a regular thing in the future.
Out of interest I had a look through the routing guide and from what I can see there are several permitted routes for this journey, beside the direct one, It looks like I can go via Weymouth! or Reading/Basingstoke or Reading/Clapham Junction amongst others.
Work books my tickets and I've just collected them from the machine and to my surprise they're marked via Salisbury rather than Any Permitted. (£46.60 for Anytime Returns).
Not a problem for tomorrow, but in the future I'm likely to want to take more esoteric routes, certainly on the way back.
My questions are, can someone confirm that the alternative routes I've mentioned above are permitted. And can someone post the cost of these routes or at least the cost of an AnyPermitted ticket?? Also is there an Anytime Day Return for this journey please. (Advances won't be any good as I'm not going to know more than a few days in advance or how long I'll be on our site there).
Presumably if other routings are more expensive, and work won't shell for the more expensive ticket, I can excess a "Route Salisbury" ticket on the train if necessary.
Thanks in advance as always.
