Good morning all,
My friend's son is autistic (and has a Disabled Persons Railcard) and plans to travel between Cambridge and Portsmouth Harbour on 16th September, at around midday, and returning on 21st at around 1300. He is unable to cope with the underground, so I've suggested he travels via London Bridge, Waterloo East and Waterloo. TrainSplit is coming up with Advance Singles of £13.30 each way, via Kings Cross and Waterloo, but suggests the transfer via the Underground. When I specifically request changes at St Pancras, London Bridge and Waterloo East, the £13.30 advance singles are unavailable.
As far as I understand, he could purchase the £13.30 advance tickets via Kings Cross and Waterloo (it's routed SWT and connections), and still travel via "Great Northern" into Kings Cross, any Thameslink train to London Bridge, and by any train between London Bridge and Waterloo East, as he will still be fulfilling the conditions by travelling on the booked trains as specified. Is there any reason why this might not be so?
He's prone to losing physical tickets, so his mother wishes to purchase the tickets on his behalf, and email them to him as E-tickets. I have no experience of E-tickets, and Trainsplit indicates that tickets purchased through them are TOD only. Does Trainsplit have the facility to issue E-tickets? The £13.30 advances are not split tickets, so they could be bought on another site.
