Hullo
I've lurked on this site for some time and find it endlessly useful and interesting.
I've started needing to travel between Brighton and London a lot recently and perplexed by one fare rule:
I often buy a midweek one month open return in the evening London>Brighton and head to Brighton overnight. I then use the return element (Brighton>London) at some other point because I need to return to London from Brighton the following morning on a peak fare.
What I don't understand is why I can only buy a single peak from Brighton to London in the morning (admittedly I can buy a day return but I don't need to return that day). What I'd like to be able to do is purchase an open-return and use the return London>Brighton section after work the following week.
Am I missing an obvious trick, such as buying a return from Brighton to, say Luton, where I would be able to purchase an open return (and still be able to break my journey at City Thameslink).
Hope this isn't too trivial a question but I'm a little stumped.
Thanks
