Got a weekend trip in London coming up, and I plan to use a few splits as it saves enough to make it worthwhile (and Southern have an online special on one of them!)
Done a few splits but never tried a 19c split before, and my first one being a little complex I'd like a little confirmation I'm not doing anything "wrong".
It's using a variation of the fairly well known Southampton [SOU] - Brighton [BTN] anomoly:
I have a season Bournemouth [BMH] - Brockenhurst [BCU]
Plan to get 2 * singles from Brockenhurst [BCU] - Beaulieu Road [BEU], one for each day.
Off-peak return BEU-BTN (Not London) to get me as far as Clapham Junction [CLJ]
Then a paper day travelcard to get me from Clapham Junction [CLJ] - London Waterloo [WAT] and anywhere in Zone 6 on the first day.
And on the way back I'd either get a paper single WAT-CLJ, or if there's time to waste continue a journey via oyster and leave the station at CLJ to touch out.
Now, is it perfectly OK to jump on a train BMH-WAT that doesn't call at either BEU or CLJ? Nothing much stops at the former, and there's a few that don't stop at the latter.
I would assume yes, but it's using the travelcard from CLJ to WAT I'm not entirely sure about.
