Hiya,

On the return part of a Folkestone - Bedford off peak return I wish to break my journey at Ramsgate? Is this possible, and if so, which route into London would I have to use for my onward journey?

(Slowly learning the routing guide but not quite there yet!)

Mike

Folkestone has two associated Routeing Points (RPs), in this case either is valid as the fares to Dover are the same as Folkestone.

The Routeing Guide says that where LONDON is listed as a permitted route, all the routes from the origin to London are valid to get to Londopn, plus all the routes from London to the destination are valid.

So all the routes that would normally be valid between Folkestone and London are valid, including HS1 of course. To find out what these routes are, look up Dover to London (also Ashford to London) on the permitted route identifier page.


Dover Priory - London Group maps:
DV+LD
DV+LR
DV+NK
DV+VC
LB+SD+LK
LK

Maps are here:

That's a lot of routes!

Yes, you can.

South of the Thames there are an unbelievable number of routeing possibilities!
