When direct services finish early, wouldn't it make sense to allow people to travel via an indirect routes.
For example Horsham to Dorking. On Saturdays the last service is at 18:14. The remaining five services are via Redhill and there are no valid fares.
Whilst it may be considered that there isn't enough traffic to run trains, you'd think there would be a few people who want to go out to Horsham for an evening and go back to Dorking or the reverse.
Monday to Friday the last train is 21:14. I can't imagine there is more demand on a Monday evening but I don't know what the commuter traffic is like. However regardless, there are trains via Redhill, just that tickets aren't valid that way.
I see a ticket to Gomshall is valid mind you but not everyone will know to put that station in, instead of Dorking.
