Permitted Route question

[fishter]

I'm travelling to Kensington Olympia tomorrow and am confusing myself with permitted routes.

I'm departing from Southampton Central and would like to meet some friends who are also travelling to Olympia. They are travelling from Havant.

I've tried to work out if I need a special ticket, or if travel via HAV is a permitted route. I can't make head nor tail of the routing points, group members and suchlike.

Any advice appreciated. Ideally I'd like to travel from SOU to KPA via HAV, but return via the shortest/fastest route.

Travel via Havant is permitted on a Southampton Central to Kensington Olympia ticket.

SOU is Southampton Group, KPA is associated with Clapham Junction.
One of the permitted routes between SOU and CLJ is Maps CW + PD.

Also note that if you purchase a "Not Via London" ticket this is cheaper than an "Any Permitted" but lets you go via Clapham Junction, which is the fastest way to get there anyway. More money for beer!

Though remember only the slower trains stop at Clapham Jn.

If you have time for trhe scenic route (via Arundel) you could take Southern
