Hi!
I hope that you can help, because I find the ticket system to be really confusing.
We are coming to UK (flying to Gatwick from Sweden) on Aug 25th and leaving on Aug 31.
We're going to stay in Crawley and will use Three Bridges station.
We want to go to :
Bletchley: 1 day
Brighton: 1 or possibly 2 days
London: 2-3 days. What stations we use in London doesn't really matter.
No set dates for this, we will probably decide one or two days in advance.
We will not need tickets to and from Gatwick.
We will try to travel off peak, as I understand that this is considerably cheaper.
Now, I can use the journey planner to find the cheapest/best fares.
What I really want to know is what strategy we should use!
Is it a good idea to buy a TwoTogether card?
Can we somehow get cheap tube fares together with our train tickets (for the London days)? We are probably only going to travel in zones 1 and 2.
Is it better to buy tickets one or 2 days in advance and pick them up on the station, rather than buying at the station?
I'm grateful for any advice on this!
