Hello - hoping the ticket scholars can help!
I want to go from Finsbury Park to Leatherhead on 18th September. I also want to return the same day, but I'd like to break my journey to see some friends at Mitcham Junction.
Also of interest is the £3.10 for two bus journeys I'll make to get to/from FP, if a TfL cap is in the mix. Time is largely irrelevant although I must be at Leatherhead before 1430. I'd happily "split" by getting off a train, touching out, using a ticket to re-enter, and so forth.
The vague plan is this:
OUT
(c. 1255) LU Finsbury Park-Vauxhall 1320
1328 Vauxhall-Leatherhead 1406
RTN
1717 Leatherhead-Sutton 1731
1746 Sutton-Mitcham Jn
...
2155 Mitcham Jn-St Pancras 2233
2246 St Pancras-Finsbury Park 2252
Questions:
1. Assuming I can break my journey (I think I can on a super off peak return?), is this a valid way to return?
2. National Rail's website advises a Super Off Peak Day Return for this journey would cost £11, but when redirected to buy a ticket from a retailer, it changes to an Off Peak Day Return for £13.20 - can I get the £11 fare somewhere?
3. And, most importantly, whether £11 or £13.20... Can anyone beat that?
