Farnborough to Ashford International

[OneOffDave]

I need to get from home (FNB) to Ashford in a couple of weeks time, travelling there on one day and back the next. I normally work in central London so would it be possible to go FNB-WAT, do my usual working day then STP to AFK in the late afternoon/early evening on an ordinary return ticket? The return journey would be in one hit. I'll be using a disabled rail card if that makes any difference.

Thanks

If the 0932 departure from Farnborough is early enough for you then you could do the whole journey for £30.85 using an off peak return - see: http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=FNB&dest=AFK&grpo=0260&rlc=DIS&ldn=1&tkt=SVR

Just to clarify - there is no Anytime Return, only an Anytime Day Return, so in the morning peak you would need Singles.
The BOJ in London is fine whatever option you take.

Thanks, I'll be travelling up to London in the morning peak, just wanted to make sure the BOJ was ok

That would be an expensive way of doing it, at £42.30 there and £27.90 back (if coming back off-peak) totalling £70.20!

For £56.79, an accredited ticket splitting website will sell a combination of flexible walk-up fares that would be valid for such a journey.

The OP says he has a disabled railcard. Assuming he's coming back off-peak the cheapest option may be:
Anytime Single £11.35 (DIS) route "not via Reading"Farnborough Main to London Terminals
Off Peak Return £30.85 (DIS) Farnborough Main to Ashford International
Not using the outward Off Peak Return until London.
It very much depends where the OP works in Central London but certainly if doing the direct journey I'd use a mainline service via Waterloo East rather than HS1 via St Pancras

But the first ticket can't be used at peak times as both stations are within the (former) Network (Southeast) Area

Does that restriction apply to disabled railcards?, I thought it was Seniors only.

Sorry, for some reason I read it as a Senior Railcard!
