Chichester CCH-Three Bridges TBD-Brighton BTN-Littlehampton LIT-Chichester CCH Ticket

[adtrainz]

Pretty much says it in the title really. I wish to take the above route only as a walk-up though, and was wondering if a CCH to TBD Off Peak Day Return would cover this.

Also, are there any splits that would decrease the overall price?

Thanks!

Although i have done it for Chichester - Three Bridges the Same Routes apply on Return Journeys just in Opposite Direction.

No Splits to Save Money really except if you buy your ticket 7days in advance you could get a Southern DaySave priced at £12.

What Sonic said, except that if you visit Littlehampton on the way back to Chichester then you must get there from Angmering and leave to Ford. Because Ford Group is the destination routeing point you are not allowed to double back within it's stations.

GROUP STATIONS
Some stations are grouped together to improve interchange between trains
by offering customers access to a wider choice of train services and station
facilities. A customer may travel via any station in such a group, including
doubling back, provided that the group is on one of the permitted routes
between their origin and destination stations. This extended availability is for
interchange purposes only and does not apply where the origin or destination
stations are part of a group.

Chichester is not part of Ford Routeing Point Group and so doubleback via Ford for interchange purposes is fine.

Ahh, thought it was the origin/destination RP. Apologies for the confusion.

Easy mistake to make.
