I'm intending to travel from Southend to Worcester for the early May bank holiday weekend, travelling out on Thurs 3rd and returning on Mon 7th. I've chosen Worcester because it's the extent of network card validity - I'm going to cycle form Worcester to Builth Wells and back.
The normal monthly return is £57, becoming £37.60 on the NSE card. However, I've been advised by a cycling acquaintance that the first few miles out of Worcester are very unpleasant to cycle on and he's advised me to carry on to Malvern Link, outside the NSE zone by about 3 miles! This carries a return fare from Southend of £73.
I've noticed that for a monthly return without NSE card from Paddington to Malvern Link is only £1 more than the return to Malvern Link.
If I get an overdistance ticket to Malvern Link, what would I be expected to pay? And at what stage in my journey do I buy it?
Thanks in advance for replies!
