I am trying to find the best ticket for travel from Eastleigh(ESL) to St Albans City(SAC). Details as follows:
Outbound:
leave ESL after 09:00 on Thursday 7th November, travel direct to SAC via Waterloo and Blackfriars.
Return:
leave SAC around 11:00 on Friday 8th November, travel to central London then overnight BOJ
leave Waterloo (time to be determined) Saturday 9th November to travel direct to ESL
Given the uncertain travel times, I have selected the flexible option on Trainsplit which offers an off-peak return (I assume a saver) for £51.70. The intention is to use the break of journey validity to delay the SWR sector journey until the following day. The return portion of the ticket would not be used on the tube on either day. The restriction code for this ticket is UT which as far as I can see does not prohibit break of journey on the return portion.
The offered fare and restriction code is confirmed by BR Fares and the fare only by the NRE planner, (it seems that the lookup for a restriction code isn't working).
I would be grateful if somebody could confirm whether this ticket is appropriate for the itinerary stated, especially the BOJ.
As an check, I have tried three times to confirm the fare on the SWR mixing desk, but each time although the 'journey results' page is correct, trying to use the 'select ticket' button changes the destination to Sandy (with connecting trains at Blackfriars and their times shown for that destination also. I presume that their planner is broken.
