Luton to Ryde Hoverport

[MrCub]

I'm having problems with finding tickets for this. BRFares.com suggest a fare of £40 with Gold Card discount for an off-peak return.

However National Rail claims no fares exist for this trip. Can anyone advise?

Failing that, what is the cheapest way of doing it? I am going on Monday, returning Tuesday, travelling off-peak in both directions, using the Hovercraft, and have a Gold Card.

I'm not bothered if the journey takes a bit longer or has more changes if the discount is worthwhile.

Any offers?

Ahh good old National Rail most of the time the site is wrong, and never seems to give out correct information

I can find the fare quite easily at http://www.southernrailway.com/, this may be easier for you to use

According to EastCoast (which, being a WebTIS site, I find is much more intuitive to use than the National Rail website), you need to buy an Off-Peak Return for £40.00. This ticket is also valid on the Hoverbus from Portsmouth & Southsea to Southsea Hoverport.

Alternatively, I'd recommend, if you have the time, buying a CDR from Portsmouth & Southsea to Portsmouth Harbour (which you can do on the train), and walking from there to the Hoverport. It's a very pleasant walk along the seafront.

You could try axing the train?
