So I made a post about not tapping out at Gatwick (GTW) which was unfortunately a no-go, but say managed to tap out at GTW (perhaps there is some sort of oyster pad on the platform or something so you can nip out and tap out without going to the gates and having to wait for another train?), does it save any money vs just getting a normal ticket?
If I get a ticket from East Croydon (ECR) it's easier as you have to change anyway, but will that get the most out of the railcard? IE is:
(excess between Z3 and GTW) + (single GTW->Brighton (BTN))
cheaper or more expensive than
(Excess between Z3 and ECR) + (single ECR->BTN)?
Or, perhaps some sort of boundary Z3 ticket bought at Crystal Palace (CYP)?
If anyone could link me to some sort of price calculator that allows someone to calculate excess fares with travelcards, it would be amazing.
