I need to travel from London (Victoria, though it doesn't matter other than today) to Gatwick Airport today (luckily one of the few journeys where there's a service running), returning on Monday evening and I'm trying to understand the various fares available.
I have a Network railcard, and the NR site is suggesting an Anytime Return at £25.60.
I know there's a Contactless/Oyster fare available but it's not entirely clear how much this would be, and I would have thought using my Network card to get a normal ticket would be cheaper?
To make it more confusing, my sister was looking up the same journey on the GWR app and it was offering an Anytime Return at £25.50 - ok, it's only a 10p difference but I'm confused as to why it would be different prices in different places, unless one has restrictions that aren't marked?
Can anyone shed any light on what might be the best option?
