Hello,
I wonder if anyone can point me in the direction of a definitive answer.
I will be travelling with a Super Off-Peak Day Travelcard from Brighton to London Zones 1-6 (Route: ANY PERMITTED).
I need to drop off a hire car at Gatwick around 22:30 and then jump on a train to London Victoria (eventual destination Wembley Park London Underground station). I'm in quite a hurry to get to the destination as it's quite late and I'll have to start work early the next morning.
There is an array of Gatwick Express and Southern trains of varying speeds around that time, but ideally, I'd like to hop on a Gatwick Express if there's one leaving around the time I can get to Gatwick station after dropping off the hire car etc.
With the ticket detailed above, can I travel on a Gatwick Express train from Gatwick to Victoria at that time?
Regarding "Break of Journey" on Super Off-Peak Tickets, Southern Railways' website has this to say:
It's not all that clear, and there are some reasonably quick Southern services around that time (and some slow ones), but it'd be great if I can just use a Gatwick Express if there's one there without incurring a penalty fare.
Many thanks in advance for any pointers.

Regarding "Break of Journey" on Super Off-Peak Tickets, Southern Railways' website has this to say:
When travelling with Southern on Super Off-Peak tickets, a Break of Journey is not permitted on outward or return journeys, however it is excepted on a Southern Super Off-Peak Travelcard ticket. A Break of Journey means exiting and re-entering an intermediate station to continue your journey on the same day after a break. Break of journey also may not be permitted when travelling with other Train Operators.
